Can you direct the constellations through the seasons or guide the Bear with her cubs across the heavens? Do you know the laws of the universe? Can you use them to regulate the earth? – Job 38: 32-33

Picture me back in 2011, a small-town 3rd-grade teacher gathering resources to teach a lesson on our Solar System.

There I was, sitting behind my laptop in my empty classroom thinking I was going to teach a cute little lesson on the planets’ rotation around the Sun.

But once I realized what was beyond our Solar System, I was full of as much child-like wonder as my students.

Did you know that you can fit 1 million “Earths” inside of our Sun? That means our Sun is enormous, right?

Well, the largest star that humans have discovered so far, VY Canis Majoris, is over 1 billion times the size of our Sun!

I can’t even…

Just think: God created and controls not only our galaxy but all of the other galaxies that human beings will never lay eyes on.

We humans literally can’t comprehend how infinitesimal we are. And we can’t truly fathom just how powerful, intelligent, and enormous God is.

But what we can put our faith in is His goodness and His love for us.

And I don’t know about anyone else, but knowing that the most intelligent, loving, and powerful being EVER cares for little ol’ me…I simply can’t find the words to describe how good that makes me feel.

I’ll just say this: If you have a care or concern, giving it to God would probably be much better than trying to handle it on your own.

I think He may be a little more capable of fixing your problems than you are.

Be blessed,
