Psalms 136:9
The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
136:9. The moon and stars to rule by night. No hour is left without rule. Blessed be God, he leaves us never to the doom of anarchy. The rule is one of light and benediction. The moon with her charming changes, and the stars in their fixed spheres, gladden the night. The sun is enough alone; but when he is gone a numerous band cannot suffice to give more than a humble imitation of his radiance. Jesus, the Sun of Righteousness, alone, can do more for us than all his servants put together. He makes our day. When he is hidden, it is night, and remains night, even though our human comforters shine at their full.
For his mercy endureth for ever. Let our thanks be as many as the stars, and let our lives reflect the goodness of the Lord, just as the moon reflects the light of the sun.
