Interesting day today. As i read my bible during my lunch break i hit a few verses that really made me think. Now before i get into that, have you ever thought about yourself in comparison to the earth? I mean really stop and think about it. You are a single person mostly in a town of thousands, some of you a few million even. Now on top of that, you are also in a country of a few hundred million. That same country is a couple thousand miles wide. And that country is part of a world that is made of approximately 70 percent water. We are rather small in this world aren't we? Just a speck on a giant floating mass. Now that giant floating mass is orbiting an even bigger mass in a galaxy made up of thousands of solar systems. And that galaxy is part of a Universe made up of an endless number of galaxies, black holes, stars, and stuff we have never even heard of. Compared to all of that we are not even a speck of dust!
Now imagine that same universe. That same universe is either several thousand years old or several billions of years old depending on who you ask. Regardless, its really old, and it has a beginning. Most of us have been on it for 30 years give or take a few. Again we are not even a blink in the eye of time. And chances are almost none of us will ever be remembered in the history books aside from birth and death records.
Now after all that, the never ending universe and the beginning of time, there is a God that created that universe. There is a God that was there before there was time. He created the universe and everything in it. He put all the stars in their place. He created our solar system, our earth and every living thing on it. He was there when time began, and He will be there when our time ends and He is bigger than all of that.
Now that right there completely boggles my mind. I try to comprehend his infinite being and my brain fries. I try to imagine a time before time and my brain turns to mush. I cannot grasp this concept of infinity. Now trying to imagine a God that is greater than all of that? I may as well be a vegetable my brain is so far gone.
The thing that absolutely blows my mind after all of that, though, is that though God is that great and that grand and that big, and i am so minute, and so insignificant that i may as well not exist, He loves me!!! He knows me! According to His word, He has known me since before the beginning of time. He doesn't just know about me either. He thinks about me, constantly! He knows me so well, He knows the number of hairs on my head! He knows my thoughts, He knows my heart, He knows everything i've ever done and He knows everything i will ever do, good and bad, and He still loves me! After all that, he still sent His son to die for me! It's truly amazing. He knows all of us this way! Mind boggling!!!! Wow!!! So am i so insignificant? Not in God's eyes.
Psalm 8:3-5 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.
In Love,
