This morning I found this Scripture being quoted by one of my friends on facebook:
"Let them praise the name of the Lord for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens. He has raised up for His people a horn, the praise of all His saints." Psalm 148:13-14
It reminded me of one other verse that always leaves me breathless when I consider it. Isaiah 40:12a says: "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?"
If you stretch out the fingers of your hand as far as they will go and measure from the end of your thumb to the end of your little finger, that is the span or breadth of your hand.
God holds the universe in the span of His hand. Just think about THAT for a minute and see if your perspective on God doesn't change for the larger.

Psalm 8 goes on to add:
3When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
4what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?
How God could even find us in such a vast expanse is incredible! That He would be willing to come down to be with us is even more amazing.
We see this skit in church every so often. I'm going to add the link to it so you can enjoy it too.
God bless us all,
Kathi
