God's Great Universe

On Father's Day, my dad, brother and I went to the Denver Museum. One exhibit that we visited was the Space exhibit, where they had a simulation where you can try and create your own solar system and watch what happens to it over time. Long story short, the three of us were not very good at building our own solar system. We had planets crash into planets, asteroids were destroying planets and we put everything to close to our sun, so it ended up melting everything we put by it. While it was fun to watch things collide and burn up, it became clear that it was best for everyone if we weren't the designers of the universe.

After our failure, it reminded me of how great and powerful our God is. He created the universe so all the planets will orbit the sun and not crash into each other. He designed each planet with care to make it unique. He created the sun to give off heat and he placed Earth in the perfect spot to reap the benefits of the Sun.

On top of all of this, he created the universe with his command. Hebrews 11:3 says, "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." God spoke a word, and he created something out of nothing, and he did so beautifully. It is an awesome reflection on just how great our God truly is.

Dear Heavenly Father, 
Thank you for creating this beautiful universe that we live in. I am in awe and wonder of what you can do and how great your power is Lord. Thanks for this planet that we live on, and the ability to learn about your creation. Amen.
