Problems? How Big?

Feeling a little stress and/or overwhelmed? Let’s get some perspective!

Let’s assume that you are able to rocket yourself into outer-space – somewhere around the moon. You turn and look back at earth, that amazing blue ball. Do you see yourself on that blue ball? Can you find your BIG-BIG-BIG problem yet?

Now let’s turn toward the sun and imagine we could throw the earth into the sun – go ahead and throw it, watch it disappear. How many earths would it take to fill the sun? 1.3 million earths – WOWzers! That BIG-DEAL-OF-A-PROBLEM, have you located it yet from this perspective?

Now imagine the sun, scaled, as a grain of sand in a space that is 40x the wideth of earth. That would be the perspective of our sun in comparison to the Milky-Way. Now how big was that Big-Deal-of-a-problem?

Now if the Milky-Way is represented by the head of a pin and you held that pin up to the sky, you would realize that our Milky-Way is only one among the thousands of galaxies in outer space. Has your head exploded yet? Where did you say that problem is located?

Do not misunderstand my thought. I am not making light of problems and issues that we all face in life. However, the creator God that made all of the heavens is a God that I am confident can solve all of my pitiful problems! Go ahead and ask him – He is capable! In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth – Genesis 1:1
