Perspective…How big are you?
April 2, 2009
BEYOND OUR SUN, IT’S A BIG UNIVERSE.
ANTARES IS THE 15th BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY. IT IS MORE THAN 1000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.
HOW BIG ARE YOU?
NOW, TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS………
THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA-DEEP FIELD INFRARED VIEW OF COUNTLESS
‘ENTIRE’ GALAXIES BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

HUMBLING, ISN’T IT?
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 UNDER CONTROL.
Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone-
while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels shouted for joy?
(God speaking to Job; see Job 38)
