Psalms 147:4

Psalms 147:4. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

Yet is there as much grandeur and glory in his compassion as in his omniscience. To bind up wounds, is as God-like a work as to count the stars; God doth both, taking perhaps a greater delight in the first than in the second. There is not a star in the church’s firmament to which God has not given the light, he knows the number of his shining ones, and he keeps their light burning; their names are all in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
