In recent days it seems like everywhere I turn I am being reminded how big GOD is and how small I am.

Did you know:
Our earth is a little over 8000 miles in diameter.
Over a million earths would fit into out sun.
Our home galaxy, The Milky Way, has 2 0r 3 billion stars like our sun.
It would take a jet 100,000 million years to make the trip around our galaxy once.
It would take that same jet 5.5 million years to travel one-way to Alpha Centauri, the other nearest neighbor we have in this galaxy.
Our known universe is 12-15 light years to is edges. Remember that light travels at 186,000 miles per second and a light-year is the distance that light can travel in a year.
Scientists have recently discovered the largest galaxy thus far known. Abell 2029 is sixty times the size of our own and possesses more than 100 trillion stars. It is a billion light-years from us.
Beyond Abel 2029 there are billions of additional galaxies and stars in every direction!

No wonder David wrote: 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 … O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth! – Psalm 8:3-4,9

Team YOU: Joshua 22-24; Proverbs 26; Luke 3
Motivations: We are not mightier than Samson, wiser than Solomon, more knowledgeable about God than David, and we do not love God better than did Peter, prince of the apostles. So let us not have confidence in ourselves; for he who has confidence in himself will fall headlong. Hesychios
Practice to Remember: Level 1:Ephesians 4:25; Level 2: Ephesians 4:11-16
Powered Up: Work as it you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.
