Stars

                                                       Stars

I  will  tell you about a poem I wrote before. 

In the Bible we see that God made the stars.

¹⁶ God made two great lights. He made the larger light to rule over the day. He made the smaller light to rule over the night. He also made the stars.

¹⁷ God put the lights in the huge space of the sky to give light on the earth. ¹⁸ He put them there to rule over the day and the night. He put them there to separate light from darkness.

At the birth of Jesus a star appeared in the sky.

2 Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea. This happened while Herod was king of Judea.

After Jesus’ birth, Wise Men from the east came to Jerusalem. ² They asked, “Where is the child who has been born to be king of the Jews? When we were in the east, we saw his star. Now we have come to worship him.”

³ When King Herod heard about it, he was very upset. Everyone in Jerusalem was troubled too. ⁴ So Herod called together all the chief priests of the people. He also called the teachers of the law. He asked them where the Christ was going to be born.

⁵ “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied. “This is what the prophet has written. He said,

⁶ “‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
    are certainly not the least important among the towns of Judah.
A ruler will come out of you.
    He will be the shepherd of my people Israel.’” (Micah 5:2)

⁷ Then Herod called for the Wise Men secretly. He found out from them exactly when the star had appeared. ⁸ He sent them to Bethlehem. He said, “Go! Make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, bring me a report. Then I can go and worship him too.”

⁹ After the Wise Men had listened to the king, they went on their way. The star they had seen when they were in the east went ahead of them. It finally stopped over the place where the child was.¹⁰ When they saw the star, they were filled with joy.

¹¹ The Wise Men went to the house. There they saw the child with his mother Mary. They bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures. They gave him gold, incense and myrrh.

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

We should shine as stars.
Jesus said we are the light of the world.

Matthew 5:14

Ye are the light of the world.

Apostle Paul Wrote in Philippians that we should shine as lights in the world.

Philippians 2:15

¹⁵ Then you will be pure and without blame. You will be children of God without fault in a sinful and evil world. Among the people of the world you shine like stars in the heavens.

Daniel 12:3

New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

³ Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky. Those who lead many others to do what is right will be like the stars for ever and ever.

Now,
This is the poem I wrote about stars:

                      


                       THERE IS A STAR ON MY WALL
                                                      
                         There is a star on my wall
                                   will it fall?

                         There is a star on my chair
                                   is that one fair?

                         There is a star on my floor
                 it looks like a starfish on the seashore

                         There is a star in my room
                                   it has a broom

                         There is a star on my bed
                                   it almost looks red

                         There is a star on my ceiling
                                   that one has feelings

                         There is a star on  my blinds
                 it blends in, so it's hard to find

                      There are so many stars in my house
                                   (including a mouse)

                         But it is so sad
                 that they are not good they are bad

                        And oh, there goes on out the door  
                          then there goes three

                        Hey how, there goes two more
                          they are all out the door

                        They were a perfect team,
                  together they sure have been
