God created the moon and the stars to be the light in the world admist the darkness.

Saturday night I was in a church service and the Lord showed me how this is an example how God can use His creation to teach the church.

Just as Timothy and Silas helped Paul raise his hands (maybe this was Stephen), God has the body of a church lift up the arms of their pastor. We can do this by praying for them, tithing, and supporting him in the decisions he makes.

The pastor can represent the moon and the church body represents all of the stars. God promised Abraham in Genesis that his decendents would be as numerous as the stars. (Genesis 15:5, Hebrews 11:12) In the same way, we all work together to be the light admist this darkened world.

Philippians 2:15 "that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world."

Let us all strive to be the lights of this world and to support our leaders as God has called us to do.
