Staring Into Space

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? — Psalm 8:3-4

When my gaze is far off, it could be that I am weary of all that's happening up close. But when I allow my bleary eyes to focus on what's 'way out there,' I am reminded again of God's greatness, goodness, and nearness. I am awed, settled, and refreshed.
