12.3 Billion Light Years
My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8

This one will blow your minds, guys. I recently read this in Mark Batterson's book, ID: THE TRUE YOU ...
Spatial distances are almost incomprehensible, but let me give it a shot. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. Light waves are so fast that you can have a real-time conversation with someone halfway around the world.
The sun is approximately 93,000,000 miles from Earth. If you got into your car and started driving 65 mph, twenty-four hours a day, it would be a 163 year trip. But traveling at the speed of light, our sunshine is only 8 minutes old.
Astronomers have discovered galaxies 12.3 billion light years away. That means it takes light, traveling at 186,000 miles per second, more than twelve billion years to reach the outer edge of space. And God says in Isaiah 55:8 that's about the distance between our thoughts and His thoughts.
The Psalmist says in Psalm 145:3 that "There are no boundaries to His greatness; His greatness no one can fathom! You and I underestimate God by approximately 12.3 billion light years.
Sometimes we analyze and categorize and theorize instead of just letting God be God. I think God is looking for people who don't tell Him what He can't do. Mark Nepo said, "Birds don't need ornithologists to fly." Birds don't need ornithologists to fly and God doesn't need theologians to do miracles.
God knows NO boundaries. He isn't limited to four dimensions of time and space. Psalm 36 from The Message says, "His love is meteoric, his loyalty astronomic, His purpose titantic, His purposes oceanic. Yet in His largeness, NOTHING gets lost.
Wow, my brothers. How big is YOUR God today. Is there a situation you are facing that seems HUGE? Guess what -- He is bigger than any situation you may be facing today. Read that verse from Psalm 36 today and remind yourself how big He really is. -- Bill Welte is President and CEO of America's KESWICK
