Psalm 89: 11-12
The heavens are Yours,
the earth also is Yours; the world and all its fullness, You have founded them.
The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in
Your name.
… Watch a simple-minded
person, one who is right with God and is not terrified by the reasonings of
men, as he looks at the stars and exclaims, “When I consider Your heavens, the
work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is
man that You are mindful of him?” It is not said in despair, but in adoring
wonder.
Look at the world either
through a telescope or a microscope and you will be dwarfed into terror by the
infinitely great or the infinitely little. What do I read in the Bible? I read
that the God of heaven counts the hairs of our heads. Jesus says so. I read
that God watches the sparrows so intimately that not one of them falls on the
ground without His notice. I read that the God who holds the seas in the hollow
of His hand and guides the stars in their courses clothes the grass of the
field. Through the love of God in Christ Jesus, we are brought into a wonderful
intimacy with the infinitely great
and the infinitely little.
