HOW AWESOME IS OUR GOD!
Almighty God is the Creator of all things, near and far. To help us grasp the vastness of His universe, one scientist suggests we imagine a smooth glass surface. Shrink the sun from 865,000 miles in diameter to just two feet in diameter and place it on the surface. Using this scale, Earth would be located 220 paces out from the Sun, and would be the size of a pea. Mars would be the size of a pinhead, located 108 paces beyond Earth. To visualize the distance of Neptune, you'd need to step off another 6,130 paces (in our model, over 5 miles beyond Mars). There wouldn't be enough room on the glass surface to show the distance of Pluto. And you would have to pace off 6,720 miles beyond Pluto to reach the nearest star. Yet, this glass model would represent only a teeny tiny fraction of the universe!
If your eyes were able to see with the necessary clarity and power, and if you were to hold out a dime at arm’s length, that coin would block out 15 million stars from your view. In his worship of Almighty God, the Swedish pastor and composer, Carl Boberg, was absolutely on target: “How Great Thou Art!”
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
