How Big Is Big?

 

How big is the cosmos? Galaxies upon galaxies stretch into space farther than we can comprehend. Two Harvard astronomers have discovered a "great wall" of galaxies that they estimate to be 500 million light-years long, 200 million light-years wide, and 15 million light-years thick.

One light-year is 5.88 trillion miles. Those numbers are mind boggling.

God created all of those galaxies and sustains everything that exists by His powerful hands. Yet that same mighty God, the one and only God, used those hands to gently touch the lives of suffering men and women.

He knows us by name. He protects us. He guides us. He provided His Son for us so that our sins can be washed away and that we might love Him, and live with Him, in eternity.

Listen to the Spirit in you.

Regardless of how heavy your burdens, how tangled your problems, or how serious your diseases, the God of the galaxies has power enough to meet all your needs - and measure-less power to spare.

Put all your problems in His hands.
