How Small The Blue and White Marble

"Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.  One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts."  (Psalm 145:3, 4)

To praise His greatness, His unsearchableness, His works, His "mighty acts" to others--------------- no greater desire, no greater ambition, no greater prayer.

My desktop photo is "Earth Rise," a photo taken of the Earth by one of the Apollo astronauts above the moon surface. It is the first thing I see when I log on in the morning, a blue and white marble, suspended in the darkness of space, in the endless universe.  In my life time man has been able, for the first time in human history, to see himself from a "heavenly" perspective.  How small we are.  How small our blue and white spaceship, circling a star called our sun.  I have read that "orbited by its companion, the Moon, the Earth travels at more than 65,000 mph," that "the earth moves round the sun in an oval track, that has an average radius of 93,000,000 miles...."  This journey takes one year.  I look at this and say with David, "What is man----------?"

And just as "unsearchable" is His "mighty acts" of our salvation and redemption.   Jesus found me as a hopeless, lost, Hell-bound sinner.  He took me to His Cross, spilled His Blood, died, was buried, rose from the grave, and took His Precious Blood, along with me, bathed, cleansed, purged, and washed in His Blood right into the Holiest of All in the Heavenly Tabernacle, "which the Lord pitched, and not man," right to the Mercy Seat------------------ How small the blue and white marble.

Father, in Jesus' Name, Earth, the Universe, The Cross, saving me----how "unsearchable...Your mighty acts."  Amen.
