With His Arms Outstretched, How Big Is God?



In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1





              How big is God?  When our kids were little we used to play that fun game that recognized how rapidly they were growing.  The one where we would ask “How big is Nicole, or how big is Josiah”…and they would stretch out their little arms and we would say together “Sooooo big!”  Not a bad practice to help “in the beginning God” become our first and life-defining sentence.  How big is God?  He created the heavens and the earth!

 How big are the heavens?  There are 400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy.  Our sun is 150 trillion miles from the center of our galaxy.  Our galaxy is just one of more than an estimated 100 billion galaxies, and each galaxy has over 100 billion stars! God created the heavens and the earth!   He spoke these things into existence! 

How big is God? 





Lord, You must be first! Your greatness is so far beyond our comprehension!  Rather than try to comprehend, we worship! We put you first in our lives, our priorities.
