It’s a small word – an afterthought – an addition.

Nothing spectacular follows an also.
“On vacation, we went to Disney World, Sea World, and the beach. We also went to McDonald’s.”

Also; not a big deal; not the focus; not all that important.

In Genesis 1, we read the account of God creating the world. His power and creativity explode in every verse:

“Let there be light!”
“Let there be sky!”
“Let there be land and sea!”
“Let there be sun and moon!”

And God saw that it was good.
In the middle of this incredible display of God’s power, surprisingly, we find an also sentence.

“He also made the stars.”

Also?

The Milky Way galaxy (where we live) is made up of hundreds of billions of stars. That’s this many: 100,000,000,000. If that doesn’t blow your mind, think about this: that’s just our galaxy. Scientists believe that there are billions of galaxies. Billions of galaxies with billions of stars.

As a matter of fact, the more we learn about the universe, the more scientists believe that the universe may indeed be infinite.

No end.
No beginning.
There’s always more to discover.

Sound like Someone you know?

Forget about the numbers. Just look up…on a clear night…for about 30 seconds. And then see if you think this sentence comes anywhere close to expressing what you see.

“God also made the stars.”
