Spots and specks

While browsing through social media last night I came across a link to newly published photo's from NASA obtained from a satellite just outside Saturn's rings as it had turned to photograph our amazing planet Earth and our moon.

This was a rare moment because for the most part our planet is usually lined up in a way that the our Sun blocks such an image with extreme glare. Seeing Earth and our moon as a mere dot and speck against the backdrop of space is such a mind blowing image.

We spend our days worrying about the way the world turns and our role in it, all the while loosing perspective on the bigger picture. This magnificent Universe we live in of which we have so little knowledge and understanding is the awesome creation of a powerful God.

Sure, we all have days when it feels like the weight of the world is on our shoulders but we should take heart in knowing that our omnipresent God is in control of this Universe. He holds the whole world in His hands and He has you and me tucked safely under His wing.
