God is in the Big Things, God is in the Small Things
Posted by Michael on February 8th, 2007 filed in FaithGod spoke the universe into existence. Everything is made for His glory, including us.
Something interesting a Christian friend shared with me this week. At the far edges of the universe, about as far as we can see, is the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51). It’s 23 million light years away. Here’s a photo from the Hubble telescope:
One of the tiniest, wee things we can see is laminin, a structure of polypeptide chains that are an integral part of holding nearly all animal tissue together. Here’s what it looks like:
A visual reminder that Jesus gave His life for us, and no matter where we go, there He is.

I am thrilled to see this. Anyone who thinks that we evolved spontaneously and from a “soup” by random chance is insane and in denial of the truth of God’s Holy Word. Thanks for “standing in the gap.”

I seen Giglio’s video on Saturday at a friend’s house. I’m still in awe. We showed it last night at our Celebrate Recovery meeting. God has taken on a newer meaning to the words “Higher Power”. HOLY HOLY HOLY IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. WHO WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME. AMEN.

It’s interesting that we think we can impress God with our works, yet the only two things Jesus marvelled at were faith and unbelief (Matthew 8:10
Mark 6:5-7). God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34) and does not respond to men because of their personal greatness, but He does respond to faith. Faith that God has given to everyone - (Romans 12:3) - and that everyone can believe in Him through his creation, Romans 1:19-21: Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”
So once people reject the God who created them, there is a darkness that descends upon them and they are lost in that darkness.

God is INDESCRIBABLE as well as all HIS CREATIONS. I first saw the WHIRLPOOL GALAXY and LAMININ yesterday at our Sunday Fellowship. Instead of the usual preaching of our beloved Pastor, he had us watched this video of an American young preacher from ATLANTA, GEORGIA. I guess it was done after the INDESCRIBABLE TOUR they had. His topic was GOD’s bigness and indescribableness that was shown in HIS creations. I did not know who the speaker was, but I know that Louie is his first name. I just wanna thank you guys. God is indeed alive and moving. Your existence is enough proof. ALL GLORY BELONGS TO HIM!

That is truly amazing. When I saw that today, it blew my mind. I looked in to the sky, trying to see how small I am. I don’t know why I did this, but it sure reminded me how big the God I’m worshipping is!

Truly that our God iS a great God.. It is really amazing that you will suddenly discover that in every creation of God.. there’s a proof that it is realli Him who made it. so we can say that our God is a powerful and creative God! we are really blessed with your presentation about the universe and the Laminin. i couldn’t really imagine. Praise God!continue reaching souls for Christ!
