When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and
the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful
of him, the son of man that You care for him? Psalm 8:3-4 NIV
Let me share some interesting facts about the ocean. Do you
realize how large the ocean is? If the world's tallest mountain, Mount
Everest, were placed on the bottom of the ocean at its deepest point,
there would still be 1.3 miles of ocean from the top of the mountain to
the top of the water. Do you know how much salt there is in the ocean?
An estimate of 50,000,000,000,000,000 tons of salt exist in the ocean.
If you were to take out all the salt and place it on the surface of the
earth, it would stack up 150 feet tall all over the earth. Wow! That's a
lot of salt!
Why do I share these facts? They are interesting, but what good will they
do for you and me in our daily lives? Well, I just can't get over the
fact that a God so big could love me so much. Why would a God who,
according to the Bible, can hold 50 (? whatever that number is with 15
zeroes after it) worth of salt in the palm of His hand, care anything
for little ole me? Why, when He is responsible for such vastness, would
He even bother to count the hairs on my head? (I know that job is easier
now than it used to be, but still.)
I don't know why, except that the Bible says we were created for His
glory. But, I know this: I'm glad He does! It makes me appreciate Him
more. I'm more determined, once I realize His significance, and His
power, to rely on Him than ever before.
What about you? Can you love a God like that?
