Mark_18

I layed under the night sky. I remembered a verse - something like - God stretched the sky and the heavens over the world like a tent over His children.

I thought of how incredibly huge the earth is. A nice sphere, hung on nothing, spinning just right, orbiting the HUGE sun. With it's own moon. I thought wow the moon reflects a lot of light for a rock so far away.

I looked into space and at the stars. Thinking of how massive it all is and how little I can see from here. The stars I don't see. The space and simple, calm "nothingness" out there never ending. How amazing the thought that - Despite the limitations of my eyes, I was staring out into eternal space when I looked between the clouds.

I watched the clouds soar overhead smoothly. I thought of how massive they are. Blowing in the wind all around this massive sphere. All under control by my Father in heaven.

The sky no longer felt misterious and untouchable, but felt like a comforting cover over our temporary home on earth. Then I thought of everything that is from God. I went through the things around me thinking about how they came from God himself. Now I look around and everything in existence - Every building, every tree. Every road, every man made structure. It was all by God's hand, and under His control.

As a child He loves so dearly that I cannot fully understand, I can feel safe and comfortable. No matter what comes my way in this world. My Father's got it under control. He is so powerful to make this all. It is all so small to Him. And nothing for me to fear.

Think of all you have, that people have given you out of love, that just comes naturally from the world, that's a part of you, that's been made by man to comfort or entertain you in some way, the people who love you. This all comes from your Father in heaven. Every song that you listen to He gave to you through the artist. He knew when you'd listen to it, and what it would do for you. It is He who loves you most. He is the only one holding you where you are. The only reason you are. He is your everything, please come to know this and give Him your thanks. Do whatever you can to show your love for Him.
