think about it...

Behold the sun! Every square yard of the sun is constantly emitting 130,000 horse power, or the equivalent of 450 8-cylinder automobile engines. And yet our sun, as powerful as it is, is but one minor star in the 100 billion orbs which make up our Milky Way Galaxy. Hold a dime in your fingers and extend it arm's length toward the sky, allowing it to eclipse your vision, and you will block out 15 million stars from your view.

Consider the earth! Our globe's weight has been estimated at 6 sextillion tons (a six with twenty-one zeroes). Yet it is precisely tilted at 23 degrees; any more or any less and our seaons would be lost in a melted polar flood. Though our globe revolves at the rate of 1,000 miles per hour or 25,000 miles per day or 9,000,000 miles per year, none of us tumbles into orbit. Our God who "stretches the northern sky out over the empty space and hangs the earth upon nothing" (Job 26:7) also created an invisible band of gravity to hold us secure.

Now...let me pose a few questions. If he is able to place the stars in their sockets and suspend the sky like a curtain, do you think it remotely possible that God is able to guide your life? If your God is mighty enough to ignite the sun, could it be that he is mighty enough to light your path? If he cares enough about the planet Saturn to give it rings or Venus to make it sparkle, is there an outside chance that he cares enough about you to meet your needs?
