It is mind boggling just trying to comprehend the size of our own galaxy.
This is going to sound silly. But sometimes, when viewing magnificent images like this one, I get a mental picture of God tossing galaxies around like He’s playing a game of horseshoes. :-)
There is a scene at the end of the first episode of season 2 of The Chosen where Jesus is alone with the apostle John in the back room of a synagogue where they are deciding to pick a reading for Jesus to read before an invited gathering. The whole scene is about John beginning to realize the divinity of Jesus. Eventually John says he likes the beginning. Jesus agrees and says yes it is a good memory. It is a line when you think about it that is also mind boggling. What follows is Jesus reading the opening lines of Genesis and cross cutting to John years later beginning to write the opening lines to his gospel.
Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
The properties of light are mind boggling. How can light travel at nearly 186,300 miles per second, second after second, year after year, for millions or billions of years, without ever getting tired, taking a day off, calling in sick, or just calling it quits?
