We are Star Dust!

WE ARE GOLDEN

We are stardust, we are golden We are billion year old carbon And we got to get ourselves back to the garden” Crosby, Stills, and Nash.    Amazing God, when you took Abraham by the hand and showed him the depths of the heavens and the endless stars whose numbers none can count, you had already known and named his descendants who would outnumber the numberless. As the psalmist says, “all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”   We are billion year-old carbon reimagined, knit together, fearfully and wonderfully made. A miracle indeed, yet more miraculous still made in your image as golden as the stars.   We are not worthy to be called your children yet through our Lord, Jesus Christ, you count us worthy!   Lead us as you led Abraham, to dream dreams, to see visions, to step out in faith, to be swept up into your great purposes, to be worthy of our inheritance as heirs of the promise.
