This Speck on a Blue Ball

​I have this prayer prep that I use when my mind  is busy and  unfocused.  I slow  my mind to take a glimpse  of  my place in this Universe.

Specifically, I am a speck on a blue ball (Earth) that spins at 1000 mph orbiting  around our  sun in our  Solar System of  8 (or 9) planets, which is  one of countess  galaxies in our  infinite Universe. ..

AND this existence.. my existence is  just  a  microscopic blip on  the timeline of .. eternity!

So while I admit I should lose like 25 (or so) pounds I  also am feeling very small.  Then to  think of  the intricacies  of the human body, the human condition,  that  I have a  free will, and  I believe His spirit makes me a very special speck on this  blue dot.

While I attempt to grasp this  perspective of significance.. I  pray Psalms 8:4  Who am I that  you are mindful of  me?  .. and I am in awe of creation and  more importantly our  creator and His inexplicable  love for each of  us. Better yet, y'all best read all of  Psalms 8

Now .. I  am ready to pray as  the  world  slows  down.. I am  an awe  of God,  and  thankful for this  day (even the bad  ones), and  pray  that my life, my family, my friends, church, community, state, nation, and world come to realize the significance, purpose, and place as their own speck like roles on this  blue dot.
​​
Love  God, love others and all glory to  God  on this  day!  Cuz ya know, the rest is speck on a blue ball trivia by comparison.

​Blessings!
