The following excerpt from Holly Wagner’s Book “When it pours He reigns”:

“So you think your problems are pretty big? How big are they?

Ever seen photos of whales, the really big ones? I once saw a photo of a whale with a human next to it-just to give perspective on the whales actual size If you saw that photo you might think, Those whales are really big

Well they aren’t really that that big when you compare them to the size of a mountain. If you put 100 whales in a large container to make up the size of Mount Everest you would have to fill about one million of those containers. …Wow Mountains are really big aren’t they

Well…they aren’t really that big when you compare them to our planet. When you see a satellite photo of earth taken from outer space, the highest mountains look like a speck of sand. You might think our planet is really big isn’t it

Well…it isn’t if you compare it say to the sun. It would take about one million planet earths to match the size of the sun. That’s amazing. The sun is really big isn’t it

Well…it isn’t that big if you compare it to some of the stars in the galaxy. One of the stars in the galaxy is so enormous that it take fifty million of our sun to match its size. Now that’s a very big star.

Well not really if you consider that this is one star in a galaxy in which there are billions of stars. All righty then. The galaxy is massive, isn’t it

Well…not really, because there are billions of galaxies. There are enough galaxies out there that every human on earth could have at least 4 of them. Whew!

So the universe must be pretty big then. And to think that our God created it with the words “Let there be stars and galaxies”

Okay how big is your problem? Is it really too big for God?”
