Our planet (Earth): A view from space
Can you imagine how small we are?
Our solar system: We are the planet 3rd closest to the Sun
Again, can you imagine how small we are?
Where???
The Universe (part of it anyway): Each of those specks are different galaxies
We are sooooo TINY!!
"O Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
From the mouth of infants and nursing babes
You have established strength because of your adversaries,
To make the enemy and the revengeful cease.
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars which You have ordained;
What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field,
The birds of the heavens and the fish of the seas,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!" - Psalm 8
These pictures sure put our world into perspective. I am so humbled by this, but mostly comforted. Comforted because I know that my life is in the hand of God. Wow! Me? My life? Why would a God so powerful and awesome care about me? It is difficult, almost impossible, for me to fathom.
I love you, Lord. And thank you for loving me (FIRST)!

He sure is amazing! It is impossible to comrehend how He does it and how He is able to know each and every one of us.
You go girl! Love ya, Terry
I love this post! And to think that He holds it all in the palm of His hand.
I know we talked about this when you were here, but I love this topic. I love going back to this perspective of how tiny we are & how HUGE & great God is. Oh yah, that's why we serve Him, that's why we praise Him... b/c He's God. Because He's powerful & He's worthy. I agree with you, IT IS comforting (& very needed sometimes) to do a little mind check & reframe- putting us- no, OUR GALAXY- as a tiny speck & God on the throne.
Speaking of comfort, Julia... "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows." -1 Corin.1:3-5
Why would a God so big care enough about little me & my trivial troubles? And then decide to COMFORT me.... wow
How Powerful & Mighty is He, you ask? I would say, just as the universe is limitless, His power & might so much more limitless. That's what I intend to spend eternity finding out! Can't wait to be there with you worshiping the splendor of our GOD...
