How big is big?

If you think in terms of size! Exactly how big are you? Ponder this...

Of the inner planets ours is a big world.

But after that. We don't have that much room after all.

Even our star is bigger than we thought.

Or is it?

ANTARES IS THE 15TH BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY.
IT IS MORE THAN 1000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.
NOW HOW BIG ARE YOU?
------------------------------------------------------------------

NOW TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS..... .

In 1932 Astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the multiple Nebuli in the sky were made up of  Galaxies. In 1990, We launched a space telescope named after Mr. Hubble, to view those things we can't see from our planet's surface. In 1996 We saw the Hubble Deep Field pictures.

THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA DEEP FIELD INFRARED VIEW OF COUNTLESS
'ENTIRE' GALAXIES BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

In the darkest part of the series they found 3,000 galaxies, each one containing billions of stars like our Sun. It turned out the Hubble Space Telescope is a time machine. Using a measure called a Standard Candle, Astronomers have determined that the light from those galaxies is 13.7 billion years old.

HUMBLING, ISN'T IT?

And yet, Someone knows how many hairs are on your head,

and not even a single sparrow dies apart from His will (Mt 10:29-31)!


NOW HOW BIG ARE YOU?

AND HOW BIG ARE THE THINGS THAT UPSET YOU TODAY?


KEEP LIFE IN PERSPECTIVE.

AND DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!  It's all small stuff.

And, IT'S ALL UNDER CONTROL (Job 38)
