Today I was looking through some of the top stories on Yahoo and one of them was about the sun causing havoc on our electronic devices, from GPS navigation to air travel. Sometimes I think we forget just how close the sun is, and how perfectly God placed it in space. Any closer and we would burn to a crisp, any farther and we would freeze to death. It's really quite amazing how perfect God is and knowing that can make us realize that he IS in control of everything including our lives.
Just a few interesting facts about the sun:
- It has a diameter of about 865,000 mi, about 109 times that of Earth
- It's mass, 330,000 times that of Earth, accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.
- The Sun's color is white, although from the surface of the Earth it may appear yellow.
- Light travels from the Sun to Earth in about 8 minutes and 19 seconds.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Psalm 46:1-3
I absolutely adore the verse you placed at the bottom of your post!
ReplyDeleteanyways, isn't it crazy how perfectly designed the world is. i especially love the part where you said "any closer and we'd burn to a crisp, any farther and we'd freeze to death" It's crazy that some can believe that this has happened by chance!
Your blog name is the perfect because our God truly is Amazing!
I can't wait to read more of your posts.
