Let the words of my mouth, 

and the meditation of my heart, 

be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, 

and my redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven

to divide the day from the night;

and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Genesis 1:14

Celestial signs continue –
