Have you ever considered the sheer amazingness around you and under your feet?

Sometimes we need to think about how incredible God is, based purely on the evidence. Check these facts out for size:

1. There are 62,000 miles of blood vessels inside your body – laid end to end they would circle the earth 2.5 times.

2. At over 2000 kilometres long, The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on Earth.

3. The risk of being struck by a falling meteorite for a human is one occurrence every 9,300 years.

4. A thimbleful of a neutron star would weigh over 100 million tons.

5. The oceans contain enough salt to cover all the continents to a depth of nearly 500 feet.

6. Polar Bears are virtually undetectable by infrared cameras, due to their transparent fur.

7. The average person accidentally eats 430 insects each year of their life.

8. A single rye plant can spread up to 400 miles of roots underground.

9. The evaporation from a large oak or beech tree is from ten to twenty-five gallons in twenty-four hours.

10. Butterflies taste with their hind feet, and their taste sensation works on touch – this allows them to determine whether a leaf is edible.

I don’t know about you, but that sort of list inspires my awe and wonder to ramp up a bit. I mean, if God can create all of that then He can certainly handle the issues in my life and yours, right? If He can create butterflies with tasting feet, transparent-furred bears, incredibly heavy stars and plants with 400 mile long roots, He is big enough to deal with ANYTHING that I come up against. Isn’t He?

Thank you God for this beautiful, complex, fragile and amazing planet. Thank you for the constant reminder it is that You are in control; that You are the author and inventor of all things. I am in awe of you!
