“连一颗星都不缺少”。海象岛是个荒凉的孤岛，由岩石和冰构成，从岛的这端到那端有30公里。当沙克尔顿的船员困在这个岛上等待救援时，是什么让他们能够忍耐下去，不致彻底绝望呢？就是对沙克尔顿的信赖。他们相信，他一定会信守诺言，拯救他们。人类现在的情况跟当时被困在海象岛上的船员的处境很相似。许多人在难以想象的恶劣条件下生活，挣扎求存。尽管如此，他们可以完全相信，上帝会把凄苦人从压迫与苦难中搭救出来。（约伯记36:15）我们可以确信，在上帝眼中，每个人的生命都是宝贵的。耶和华上帝说：“你要在遭难的日子呼求我，我必搭救你”。（诗篇50:15）造物主把你──地球上数十亿人中的一个──视为宝贵，你觉得很难相信吗？如果你有这个感觉，请留意以赛亚先知怎样论及浩瀚宇宙中的无数星辰。他说：“你们向天举目吧！这一切是谁创造的呢？是上帝创造的，他率领星辰如领大军，悉数号召，一一点名呼唤，他能力充沛，力量强大，所以连一颗星都不缺少。”（以赛亚书40:26）你看得出这番话背后的深意吗？我们所在的太阳系是银河系的一部分，银河系包含至少1000亿颗星星。宇宙中有多少个星系呢？没有人知道准确的数目，有些人估计约为1250亿。星星的数目实在多得惊人！然而，圣经告诉我们，宇宙的创造主对每一颗星的名字都了如指掌。

English translation:

"Not One of Them Is Missing". What saved Shackleton’s men from complete despair as they huddled and waited on what was just "a bleak and inaccessible patch of rock and ice twenty miles [30 km] from end to end"? Their confidence that their leader would keep his promise to rescue them. Mankind today is much like those men marooned on Elephant Island. Many live under unbelievably adverse conditions and struggle simply to survive. Yet, they can have complete confidence that God will "rescue the afflicted one" from oppression and distress. (Job 36:15) Be assured that God considers everyone’s life precious. "Call me in the day of distress," says Jehovah God, the Creator, and "I shall rescue you."—Psalm 50:15. Do you find it difficult to believe that the Creator considers you—just one individual among earth’s billions—personally precious? Then note what the prophet Isaiah wrote about the billions of stars in the billions of galaxies in the vast universe around us. We read: "Raise your eyes high up and see. Who has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing."—Isaiah 40:26. Do you appreciate what that means? Our Milky Way galaxy—of which our solar system is only a part—contains at least 100 billion stars. And how many other galaxies are there? No one knows for sure, but some estimates put the figure at 125 billion. What a staggering number of stars there must be! Yet, the Bible tells us that the Creator of the universe knows each of the stars by name.
