One of the things our speaker, Eric Hovind, brought out that really caught my attention was his quarter comparison. An infinite almighty God knows me intimately and loves me. Compare our sizes though:
Imagine a quarter, you know the one with George Washington's face. If this quarter was our universe (the sun and eight planets) the earth's orbit would be a small spot by Washington's eye; the rim of the quarter would be Neptune's orbit. The Milky Way Galaxy then would be the size of the North American Continent (Canada, North America, and Mexico). Now there are innumerable galaxies - all of which are created by God. He is bigger than all of this and yet, He created us for His glory.
Even though we are less than a tiny speck in G. Washington's eye, God loves us and sent His Son to die for our sins. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling rather small and humble today.
