The Stars at Night

A few nights ago I was outside late, outside of the city. I was in a quiet place away from bright lights, and when I looked up into the sky I saw millions and millions of stars. Immediately I had a very happy thought in my head...this reminds me of Night Devo! It was a good feeling to be able to look up and see God and his power in those stars.

During my years at Camp Deer Run, I always loved Night Devo. The singing was constantly great, the short talks that the Group Leaders brought were very insightful, and finishing off the day with the special Night Devo group song was always a highlight. But none of those things were what I loved most about Night Devo. The stars were my favorite. I loved standing at 2nd base on Hoche Ballfield and just looking up in awe at the amazing lights above our heads. I've never felt closer to God than when I was standing under the stars singing praises to Him. If you have ever experienced a Night Devo at Deer Run, then I'm sure you feel similar to me. Sometimes we get caught up in the lives we live daily, and we are always rushed to do whatever is next in our busy schedule, but I challenge you to walk outside sometime and look up at the stars. Remember how special it is to be able be here living for God and to be blessed by Him on a daily basis. Sometimes it takes something as simple as the stars in the sky to remind us of what a wonderful Lord we worship.

Hail, Dear Ol' Deer Run,
