If our solar system was miniaturized down to a scale that we could appreciate, would we then know how much God put into it impressing us with is complexity and simply providing for us?
For example: If the sun was the size of just a round ball around the height of the hood of your vehicle, our own planet, Earth; would only be the size of a green pea. Think about that ratio. Not only that, but that little green pea with the proper ratio would be over a football field and a half away from the ball! Did you know that? And our planet Saturn, with all the pretty rings; would only be the size of a golf ball and would be in an orbit almost a mile away from the ball! Imagine that our own solar system is mostly empty space! BUT, it’s in perfect running order to show HIS handiwork like Psalm 19 tells us.
Does God need to tell us all about His creation? No, because it is evident already. We need to worship and pray to a God who can speak such a thing into existence!
Rule #1 – No matter how much we know, it is just as important to realize how much WE DON’T KNOW!
- Why is there air?
- Why is it so cold in space, but we can be hot being 93,000,000 miles away from the sun?
- Why can we see? Why is there a retina in our eyes?
- Why does every liquid continue shrinking until it becomes a solid, EXCEPT water?
- How is God able to answer our prayers like He does?
- What is the explanation of why we feel love?
Rule #2 – No matter how much we know, it is absolutely necessary to realize God knows it all!
Rule#3 – When we decide to pray, we are admitting that we are turning over the request, the praise, the trial, the infirmity, and the CONTROL to the very ONE who can properly handle it. So, why are we continuing to be so stressed out? Where is our faith? Why do we have so many trust issues that we “worry” about things AFTER we told God about it?
- Why aren’t our prayers answered? Why aren’t they answered on time?
- Why did God answer a prayer that we hadn’t even thought about yet?
- Why did my child die so young? Or Husband or wife……. Why did You decide to take them?
Rule #4 – If we start complaining to God about the status of a prayer, aren’t we essentially telling God that He didn’t handle it correctly? What arrogance! If we trust Him with our souls, what is the issue about us not trusting Him completely with our prayers?
“Lord, thank You for providing an atmosphere of cooperation with You, even in our sinful condition! Forgive us for our levels of unbelief where we tend to veer off course and question why, how, when, or what Your answer will be! Thank You for loving us, no matter what ….. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
