Let's get the big picture.......

Good morning everyone. I had a long day at training yesterday. It is so awful to get paid to shoot for nine hours. Just kidding! I am blessed to have a job with some cool benefits. We had a great night at church last night. Do you know that He has the whole world in His hands? Pastor Kyle talked about it last night and that got me to thinking. So, let's dig into the good stuff......

Bible Verse: Colossians 1:17 - "And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist."

We sing about the Lord having the whole world in His hands. But do you know what is cooler than that? He has the whole universe in His hands. It should kind of be an "Awe Factor" when we think about since we made the Hubble telescope our scientist's have found thousands of galaxies. So many that they are estimating them at over 350,000,000,000. Now why would God do that? Do you think maybe it was to make us say, "Wow, God is unbelievably big!" Or maybe God wanted us to say "Who do we think we are?" Guy's, God is the One who spoke it all into existence. He's the One who keeps it going. He's the One who is going to fold it up like a garment and tuck it away in a drawer somewhere. He regulates it; He rules it, and He runs it. When you pick up the newspaper and read something alarming, you don't have to stress and panic about it. God has the whole world in His hands. God is in control! He Who flung the stars in space has the universe's in His hands! Did you know that a caterpillar has 228 separate and distinct muscles in its head? The average elm tree has approximately 6 million leaves on it. Your heart generates enough pressure to shoot your blood up to 30 feet. In one square in the amazon jungle God put 3,000 different species of trees! I could go on and on. Are you getting the picture? Our God is huge and yet we sometimes put Him in a box. We have to remember. He has the whole world in His hands! Do me a favor. If you have a child or know one. Take their hand today and look at the stars twinkling in the night or a new plant growing, then share about the awesome God that created it all. Have a great day, I love you, and God bless.
