SCRIPTURE

"Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these, that bringeth out their host by number; he calleth them all by name; by the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power, not one is lacking." — Isaiah 40:26 (ASV)

That bringeth out their host by number:

For God knows the number of them all, and the name of every separate world that moves in the vast expanse of space.

And behold who has created these things,

These wondrous worlds, these stars that bespangle the firmament.

He calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.

They are not propped up with pillars, nor hung upon some mighty ropes, yet they continue to occupy the spheres appointed to them by God. He hangs the world upon nothing, and keeps it in its place by the perpetual exercise of his power.
