For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Our planet, is 1 million times smaller than the sun. 1 Million! The sun, that huge ball of fire in the sky that when it burps, a solar flare, it shuts down our satellites, is not even the smallest star in our galaxy! There is a star that is so much bigger than the sun, the similarities would be: if the sun was the size of a globe, this star would be the size of earth. Can you imagine this??? We don't even see this star! It's just a small light in the sky on nights that there aren't any clouds. Check this out: There are from anywhere between 200 billion to 400 billion stars in our galaxy. There are just so many that we can only estimate. From any point on earth, the most stars you will ever be able to see, without a telescope, is only 2500. Out of all of the billions of stars in the milky way galaxy, you can only see 2500. Wow. Our Galaxy, is 120,000 light years wide. A light year travels 186,000 miles/second. 120 thousand light years traveling at 186 thousand miles per second. The milky way galaxy is HUGE! Our galaxy, the one thats 120,000 light years wide, is only 1 of 350 billion galaxies. AND THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE! The largest KNOWN galaxy contains 12 trillion stars! The smallest galaxy KNOWN, only contains 10 billion stars. ALL OF THIS, and we can only see with our naked eye 2500 stars. Our God is SO humungous, his love is so deep and wide. It goes beyond all comprehension.
Can I reverse things?
A caterpillar has 248 separate muscles in its head. It has 2000 total. A spider can spin 3 different types of web, while at the same time a special oil comes out of its feet to keep the spider from sticking to its own web. A slug has 4 noses. Some dragonflies can fly at speeds up to 50 miles/hour. I've gotten a speeding ticket for going this fast! There are 35 different species of ants in the world. But catch this: there are 300,000 different species of beetles. The heaviest of all insects only weighs 100 grams.
Our God put in so much detail in things that if you are a boy, you try to find so that you can squish to see it splatter. Does this amaze anyone else besides me? That God would take so much time to shape and form a little insect, just to show US how much he loves us, and cares for us. To show us how creative he is! If he would take this much to shape and mold an insect, how much more does he have a purpose for your life?!
God knows the number of hairs on our heads. He collects our tears in a jar! How can a God this HUGE this ENORMOUS even consider loving a sinner like me? And to think, the same hands that threw the stars into the sky, are the same hands that took nails in them for my sins, and the same breath that breathed out these galaxies is the same breath that breathed life into me. Guys, we serve such an AMAZING God. To think, that i have done nothing at all to deserve his love, yet, he pours it out onto me anyways. One of my favorite songs is "How Deep the Father's Love for Us" I encourage you to click the link and listen to it. How vast and deep is our father's love for us!
"As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God."
Psalm 42:1
