Having Some Doubts About God's Ability to Help You?--Try This

"He (Jesus) is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power.  When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high." (Hebrews 1:3, Amplified Bible)

There are millions of galaxies in the known universe.  The galaxy we are a part of, the Milky Way, is about 18,600,000,000 miles across.  I read this morning that "it takes the Sun (and our solar system) roughly 200-250 million years to orbit once around the Milky way.  In this orbit, we (and the rest of the Solar System) are traveling at a velocity of about 155 miles/sec.... The Milky Way Galaxy is just one galaxy in a group of galaxies called the Local Group (I love it--"the Local Group").  Within the Local Group, the Milky Way Galaxy is moving about 180 miles/second (about the distance from Pittsburgh, PA. to Columbus, OH.----- in one second) towards the constellation Virgo."  Just another little thought here---- "If a person were to drive 65 miles per hour, it would take 163 years" to drive to our Sun.  Okay, I get it.  I'm a spec on a flea's eyelash.  But never forget lest you think you are small--- that religious super star you so admire, your boss, those powerful magnates of industry, and politicians only occupy about the same space in this cosmos as do you and I.  Jesus is the Great Equalizer! 

The Bible scoffs at modern Darwinian science.  Our text is speaking of Jesus, Mary's Boy, raised to age 30 in a carpenter's house, coming up through the ranks as an apprentice, journeyman, to master carpenter.  Then at approximately age 30, having left Joseph, Mary, and his siblings, Jesus was, "anointed...with the Holy Spirit and with power,...went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil...."  Yet our text tells us that everything Jesus did was on His journey to the cross.  Then after His death, "When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt (in His Precious Blood), He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high"---------- Oh, yes, and This Same Jesus just continues, contrary to what the vast majority of our children are learning in their schools, "upholding all things by the Word of His power," which, in case you may have forgotten, includes that 100,000 light year diameter of the Milky Way.

I know, I cannot fathom all of this either.  I just enjoy Him and the reality, "If God (Our Father, the Son, Jesus, His Blessed Majesty, The Holy Spirit, He Who rules this limitless universe, "by the Word of His power") is for us, who can be against us?"!!?

Father, in Jesus' Name, the more I think of such things, the smaller I become and the greater you "become."  I am just so glad You don't forget I am here.  Amen.

When Peter Torjesen, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Looking unto Jesus"
