Hey guys, It is ASS time!! Let me share with u this very interesting topic.. "How GREAT is our God?" Sorry, it might be a long post... But it is definitely worth ur time... hahaha..
Before i begin, let me share with you on how or what bring me to this topic...
When i was in sec 4, my sitting desk panther and i used to chat alot and this conversation lead me to that topic... Here is goes..
My friend: "Hey, God created the sky right?"
Me: "Ya..."
My friend: "God created the land?"
Me: "Ya..."
My friend: "God created seas?"
Me: "Hmm... Ya.."
My friend: "God created the earth right?"
Me: "Yea.. of coz man.. That's waht the bible says.. haha.."
My friend: "So why did God create the other planets in the universe when the earth itself alone is just enough for us to live??"
Me: "Hahahahaha, i really have no idea at all..."
In the end, it got me into deep thinking abt wat my friend asked... What he said make sense...Why are there other planets and somemore, they are unsuitable for us to live.. Is there a purpose for it?? I couldnt find the answer and i went to ask my sister about it.. She was unsure about it as well.. We forget abt it until, few months later, my sister showed me that 40-mins long sermon video, Indescribable by Louie Giglio.. and told me tat this sermon IS the answers to that question that my friend mentioned.. Honestly, I was reluctant to watch the sermon but in the end, i watched it..
And, it was mind-blowing as what he mentioned at the start of the sermon!! Let me summarise for you..
Yes, we all know that God created the heaven and earth, but we didnt really think more about it.. And there is more to it..
1) The primary purpose of the universe is to show off his splendor and majesty.(the answer to wat my friend and i were looking for..) Psalm 19:1 say "The heaven declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands."
2) As the bible say, "When God say, let there be light.." If you think about it, just a word, 'Light' tat came from his mouth, He formed the sun which is so many times bigger than the earth(we all know that..) lighting up the whole universe which consist of galaxies after galaxies! Can you imagine how great and how amazing is our God?? hahaha
3) Stars that were all over the universe... If a person were to count the numbers of stars, it will take about 2500 YEARS to count the number of stars in the milky galaxy... But for God, He knows them one by one and called them each by NAMES!
4) Significance.. How small we are and how BIG God is. The galaxies and the universe is so big and everything was created by Him and for Him as well... And, we are so small, living in the earth, among the galaxies.. And yet, He is living in our hearts here.. No matter how small we are or how far are we from Him and how big is He, He is able to be close to us and also to fit in us.. Colossians 1:15-16 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him."
5) Lastly, at the center of this galaxy is a black hole which the hubble telescope took a picture of.. And, it is really amazing.. Is like, of all shape or watever.. It is a shape of CROSS!! The entire universe displays God's fingerprint and this is just one example...the cross of Jesus was on the mind of God even as he was creating the universe. check the picture below!
And, there was another short sermon after this.. Again, same speaker as well.. This time, he shared another amazing fact about our body... Laminin.
For those who doesnt know wat is laminin, To put it simply, every living creature has laminin inside of them...the purpose of laminin is that it basically keeps our bodies from falling apart. It holds us together as one united whole. In other words, It is vital to making sure overal body structures hold together. The laminin protein is made up of three polypeptide chains - α, β and γ, giving it a total of six "ends", accounting for a lot of its flexibility in connecting various molecules. - Wiki
Check out the picture below to see the structure of the laminin when all 3 polypetide chains were together together.... Wow... Another cross shape.. Before i end this post, let me share with u last verse.. Colossians 1:17 says "He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
As you can see, God leave His trademark everywhere... Even in the universe as well as in our body!! This is clearly shown how amazing and GREAT is our God.. Remember, we are serving a BIG(not in physical) God!!! Hopefully, this post is interesting and then, we will continue to serve our God and admire His creations, always and everywhere.. Haha..
