The vast expanse of the universe is a testament to God's majesty and power. In Psalms, the writer marvels at the celestial bodies, noting the moon and stars that God has ordained. The Bible also warns against worshiping these creations, as Deuteronomy cautions against idolizing the sun, moon, and stars. Isaiah highlights God's intimate knowledge of the heavens, having numbered and named each star, while Jude describes the ungodly as wandering stars, devoid of a fixed course.

When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place—
They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.
When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.
Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these? He leads forth the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.
