So I just finished watching the rest of the ["How Great is Our God"] video that Fil showed in Fellowship last week. I am amazed and I am sitting here in complete and utter awe of the God of the universe. God is so powerful and and such an artist... :) I saw a similar video like this about a year ago but instead of Louis Giglio speaking, it was Francis Chan. For some reason I was struck more this time and didn't realize how large God actually is. Sure, we say that a lot but do we actually know it? I guess you have to see the video to know exactly what I am talking about, so I highly encourage you to look it up on YouTube or ask Fil for his flash drive. Anyways, I started to break down in tears knowing that God is SO flippin' huge, like beyond anything I could ever put into words, yet He has a place for me in His kingdom and in His heart. He takes so much time just to listen to me, to hear my every cry and to receive my every prayer. I feel so honored to even be able to talk to Him. I mean after all, He did make the largest star in the universe (VY Canis Majoris). And do you know how incredibly HUGE that is?? Well. In comparison (if the Earth was a golf ball), then Canis Majoris would be the height of Mt. Everest (that is 6 miles high). Are you kidding me? Don't tell me that doesn't blow you away. That means you could fit seven quadrillion Earths into it. That is AMAZING. You could literally cover the entire state of Texas in golf balls, 22 inches deep. This video made me feel extremely tiny compared to the universe that God so greatly created, but He still chose me. He picked ME and YOU to be a part of His kingdom and His temple. Do you know how grateful we should be? This is a huge gift.. HUGE! The God who created these ginormous stars and planets has chosen you and I to experience His presence, and to experience His majestic creation. I don't know about you, but I feel so lucky. Praise God!! :) "The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands" Psalm 19:1.
Here is just a small comparison of the sun to Canis Majoris. And just to let you know, the sun is about 960,000 times bigger than the Earth itself. The Earth is so small that you can't even contemplate the comparison... Can you imagine how small WE are?? We can't EVEN compare... now just think of how BIG God is.... He created all of this... crazy.
Agreed. AMAZING!
