Indescribable

God is Indescribable.  Everything He does, everything He's created...I can't even begin to explain it.  For my final discussion post in Earth Science this week I had to watch 5 parts to a message by Louie Giglio called Indescribable.  He went through all the things that God had created in the Universe.  He talked about the galaxies and the planets, how intense the sun was etc.  It really put a lot of things in perspective for me.  The God of the universe that created all of these things chose to make himself low for me and die so that I could live.  It's an incredible concept that's hard for me to completely wrap my mind around but I accept it and know it to be truth.  It's just a testament to how much He really does love us. 


Giglio talked about how light moves at 700 million miles an hour and that when God spoke light into existence...it moved at that speed.  Can you imagine?  God speaking this awesome thing into existence.  Light takes 8 min and 20 seconds to reach the earth from the sun.  That's 500 seconds.  500 seconds!  Light was coming out of God's mouth at 700 MILLION MILES AND HOUR.  That's incredible!


Giglio blew my mind with one quote that made me realize how narrow minded I had been when it came to looking at the universe...

"Scientists are stomped. One of their dilemmas is that they think there must be more inhabited planets in the universe. And one of the arguments, I think its a great argument, is; if the universe is just simply a habitation for you and me, than it's way over sized. To which I go right on to that; I think it might be a little too big if its just a home for you and for me. But what if the primary purpose of the universe is not to be a home for you and me, but what if it's primary purpose is to show off the splendor and the majesty and the greatness and the glory of the God who created it all, and the universe is not too big at all. The universe is just the right size after all." - Louie Giglio -

Doesn't that blow your mind?  I know that my whole mindset was completely changed.  How dare I think that I'm bigger than God?  That he created this universe just for me and you.  God created the universe to show off his majesty and his greatness.  He is an awesome God and it's seen through his creation.  I just think that it's something Christians need to hear in order to have a bit of humility instilled in them.  God is big and we are small.  It's not the other way around.  We didn't create God...God created us.  Lets start to act like it.
