just hanging out...in space.....

so, the other day I was coming back from my hometown, aka M-Town, or for those of you who are not "down" with the slang, Middletown. On my way back to A-Town, I was able to be a part of something miraculous. The sunset.
Now some might say, "Miriam, the sun sets every day, how can that be something to write a blog about?" My first response would be that it's my blog and I can write whatever the hell I want to write about. Secondly, sunsets=amazing! Also, they are, in fact, inerrant. Not only that but it is something that we have in common with every single other being on this planet. how amazing is that?
So why this particular sunset? Well first off it was beeuuteeful! I was driving through the country, it had just stopped raining, and so the sky was clear, no fog, just a few clouds. The colors were outstanding as usual. It was at this point that I was reminded just how tiny and insignificant I am. And how incredible God truly is. not only that, but he's constant....just like the sun.
That is somewhat of a pitiful comparison, we can't really compare God to something that he created. However, seeing the magnitude of nature and relating it to God helps me to see how much I already trust God. If you really take the time to stop and think about it....we're just dangling.....hanging out in space, trusting, believing that the earth will keep rotating and the galaxy will not be sucked into a blakhole. That takes faith, faith in the design of the universe. How much easier would life be if we could continue to apply that magnitude of faith to all areas of out life.
One would think, one would hope, that if we can trust God with something as huge as the gravity that keeps us from floating into space, then we can also trust him to care for out financial issues, or relationship issues, or maybe even or health issues. He's big....He's real big, and yet he loves us....tiny, little, insignificant us....
