There are an estimated 200 billion or more galaxies in the known universe. But who knows? There may be more than 200 trillion, or a trillion times that much, or more. God is infinite. Our entire solar system is just a tiny speck in our Milky Way galaxy, and Planet Earth is just a tiny speck in our solar system.
Our closest neighbor galaxy is Andromeda, "only" about 2 million light years away. Isn't that cozy? Let's say hi! (One light year is how far light will travel in a year.) If we could travel at the speed of light, it would take us 2 million years to reach or nearest neighbor, Andromeda, and borrow a cup of sugar, or whatever.
See the awesome photo of Andromeda at http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap061126.html (see below).
If you ever get bogged down with mundane things and problems of this planet, just lift up your eyes to the heavens and remind yourself how great is our God! He is greater than your problems. He is able to do anything. All things are possible with Him. And He is full of mercy and kindness. Call upon Him today.
And just think! He left the splendor of heaven to visit this speck of a planet, and die on a cross for our sakes.
How Great Is Our God Lyrics
Artist:Chris Tomlin
VERSE(1):
The splendor of a King,
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice,
And trembles at his voice
CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all who sing
How great, How great
Is our God
VERSE(2):
Age to age he stands
And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End,
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
The Lion and the Lamb
CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all who sing
How great, How great
Is our God
CHORUS(2)
Name above all names
You are Worthy of all praise
and My heart will sing how great
Is our God
(x2)
CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
Sing with me
How great is our God,
and all who sing
How great, How great
Is our God
CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
Sing with me
How great is our God,
and who sing
How great, How great
Is our God
He is!!!
