Me: What are you doing?
Prodigal: I am traveling around the earth!
Me: I have some more fun facts about the earth.
This is from the book You Can Change by Tim Chester
Traveling at the speed of light (186,000 miles a second), you would encircle the earth seven times in one second and pass the moon in two seconds. At this speed it would take you 4.3 years to reach our nearest star and 100,000 years to cross our galaxy. There are thought to be at least 100,000,000,000 galaxies in the universe. It would take 2,000,000 light-years to reach the next closest galaxy and 20,000,000 to reach the next cluster of galaxies. And you have still just only begun to explore the universe.
All this was created when our God simply spoke a word. In fact, Isaiah tells us that he marked off the heavens with the breadth of his hand (Isaiah 40:12).
Sometimes we needed to be reminded just how small we are and just how big God is. Now spend your time with God today and keep in mind just how big He is.
Psalm 34:11
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
