that little blue dot


see the little blue dot in the lower right hand corner?  compare it to the sun ...  that's where we live!!!!  this NASA graphic really captures the smallness of earth, compared to almost anything else out there !!! 

it reminds me of the Psalm that says:
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

i pray that you rest easy in the knowledge that God is way way bigger than any problem you may face today ...

If we could just stay in a
place of seeing everything
from God's perspective life
would be so much easier!
Just amazing, isn't it?!

I love Louis Gigglio's work because he uses the universe and the smallness of us in his teaching. We are so small and yet GOD chooses to love us and focus His attention on us!!!! Awesome!

Thanks, Saija, for reminding me.
What a wonderful Lord we have, who is even counting grains of sand on that little blue got.

Hard to learn, so easily distracted by that which is seen. Thanks for the reminder!

We are so small and yet by no means insignificant.

Hi Saija, Love the picture of how tiny our planet is. Hard to take it all in! And how wrapped up we get in the here and now. A wonderful post...=)
