The World
Whoa. It's overwhelming to think of it all.
This world is so big. Sometimes I feel like I've seen so much, and maybe compared to some people I have. Yet there's still so much I haven't seen. I was messing around on google maps, using the satellite feature to see places overhead like my house. Then I went over to Australia. Oh, how I would LOVE to go back there. And then I remembered that I'm going to Greece this summer, and I can't wait for that. But there are still so many places I've never been that I would love to visit. Europe, Asia, South America, ugh I want to go everywhere. If I had an unlimited amount of time and money, I would totally just float from country to country and spend as much time in each place as I'd like, and then move on to the next place. That'd be sweet. But clearly that's not happening. I'm just glad to be able to go the places I can go. Then I got to thinking, in the scope of things, this earth is still so small. There's so much more out there. Whoa. God is so big. And we are SO SMALL. How can we possibly think, "I don't need God. I've got this under control. I know what I'm doing." Hah! The God who made us is SO BIG and we are so small and the only logical thing to do is depend on Him for everything. We think we're so big, so smart. Oh, how fooled we are. It's amazing, baffling, mind-blowing, to think of the vastness of the universe and the greatness of our God. The words "how great is our God" take on a whole new meaning for me.
