Theme: Our Awesome God

If you’ve ever had the chance to admire the night sky on a really dark night, away from city lights, then you’ve caught a glimpse of how awesome our God really is. Millions of stars and galaxies…some of them billions of light years away…and all created by the same God that loves each one of us.

Awesome.

But even the word “awesome” doesn’t seem to do justice to the magnitude of God’s creation. To provide some perspective, one of the closest galaxies to Earth (named Andromeda) is roughly 2.5 million light years away. That’s approximately 15,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles away (about 15 quintillion miles). Think about that. Even if we could travel at the speed of light, it would take us two and a half million years to get there. And again, Andromeda one of the closest galaxies. That’s how massive our universe is…and our God spoke it into existence.

Psalms 19:1 reminds us that every star in the sky puts God’s glory on display and proclaims the magnificence of His creation. We have a truly awesome God.

Doogie - Be Thankful – 1 Chronicles 16:34 (Week 47)

(we received this comment via email)… Another excellent post! And just to carry the historical aspect with regard to our nation one step further, the resolution adopted by Congress actually urged President Washington to declare “a national day of thanksgiving and prayer” (emphasis supplied), but in today’s times we seem to forget that second part. In fact, the very first line of President Washington’s proclamation establishing our nation’s first Thanksgiving states “Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor...” The full text of the proclamation is available at: https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Washington/05-04-02-0091 Our Founding Fathers recognized and gave thanks to God above all first and foremost, and we would be well-served to do the same!
