How GREAT is our God!

I was reading just the other day how scientists are now searching deeper and deeper into space trying to find when the Big Bang occurred. After searching billions of light years into space they now are starting to wonder if they will ever find out when the Big Bang occurred or if it had ever occurred at all. Here is a picture representation of what the scientists believe of the expanding universe. It's interesting, because here in Job 9:8 when it states "He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the water of the sea." kind of goes along on what the scientists theorize. Gods Word and science go hand in hand.

As Christians we know the Big Bang never happened. God created the heavens and the earth just as it is stated in his Word. The vastness and complexity of space just proves how complex and how awesome our God is. However it's sad that these scientists are spending their whole life looking for answers about creation and wondering how it all got here and yet the only place they need to look is in the Bible. Trying to understand our universe would be like ants trying to understand the nuclear activity of the sun. It's just not possible! It takes a GREAT mathematician to create the countless number of stars and have them take their place in the vast universe. There are only around three thousand stars visible to the naked eye, but there are billions beyond that. In fact, we are appalled by the vast numbers and distances involved in the expansive universe. Yet with all the created heavenly bodies, God knows the name of each one. In Psalms 147:4 it states, "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names."

David in Psalms 8:3-4 states "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which tho hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, thou visitest him?" In Psalm 97:6 it states "The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory." The next time you go outside at night, look up at space and see His righteousness. Our God is a GREAT God and He loves us with an everlasting love.
