What does a star in a book margin mean?
Well, I don’t know about you, but for me it means, “here is a special note.”
Later, I can scan the book and read the starred passages and remember the good parts.
I didn’t invent this system. It was started by God. He put stars in the night sky to teach us of his power.
As Psalms 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.”
When you look up into the night sky and learn more about God’s work, you have to be impressed with his power.
We are a part of the Milky Way galaxy which contains billions and billions of stars. Our sun is just one of those stars. Our universe is so big that if you got in a spaceship and traveled at 186,000 miles per SECOND, it would take 93 million years to cross it. And we don’t even know if that is the limit of its size. God is truly all-powerful.
When we look up and consider God’s creation. We would do well to remember Romans 1:20
“For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity.”
A star is a book is a simple device of man, but God’s stars teach us about Him.
Look up and learn.
