"When You Look at the Stars"

So how many of you have actually sat on the grass at night underneath a big clear sky and watched the stars? I don't remember the last time I did. I think I need to soon because it is really a humbling experience. Think of all the things God created, this whole universe, and how small we are compared to this and how small the universe is compared to God. WOW!

This summer, when I was working at camp, the guys in our cabin were going through a common theme where we were humbled by God's awesomeness and one of the big things that hit us is what God created out there, just to glorify Him. Those stars are probably the biggest thing we know. It's amazing that those things are so majestic are giving praise to somethine even higher.

We watched a movie that summer, and I don't remember who the speake was, but it was a speaker at a Chris Tomlin concert during his "Indescribable" tour. Acutally that is what he was talking about. He was explaining just how Indescribable Christ really is using those great stars out there that glorify Him. I remember he was using a lot of pictures that NASA had taken of stars and galaxies out there that they had received. Some of these places were absolutely huge compared to us. Gosh, our solar system is itty bitty compared to our galaxy and there are bigger galaxies out there right now. It's amazing.

We really are miniscule if you have to think about it. So many statistics and math has been run to show that our earth is like a penny compared to the ocean when we compare our planet to other galaxies. So what are we compared to that penny. I can't even comprehend that. And God is even bigger than all of that combined together. AGHA!!! That's big, and we're small. Probably the most amazing thing that he showed us in that clip was the picture of the X galaxy. I tell you that's no X in that galaxy, that's a cross. It's definately glorifying Him. That's one of those things that just puts on the floor and makes you say "GOD YOU ARE AWESOME, Your Are Lord, you are my God...and I love You."
