Speck on a Blue Ball
I have a prayer preparation 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 1,000 mph, orbiting around our sun in our Solar System of 8 (or 9) planets, which is one of countless 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 tiny. Then to think of the intricacies of the human body, the human condition, that I have 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 in 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 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!
