The planet we live on is immense. I don’t know what scientists used for a
scale, but they say Earth is 8,000 miles in diameter and weighs roughly 6.6 x
1021 tons. In addition, the sun rotates on its axis, turning and spinning as we live, work and play some 93 million miles away.
Wow.
I have always been fascinated by the way God has revealed his remarkable wisdom in how Earth is in perfect orbit. Absolutely perfect. If our home planet was too
close to the sun, we’d fry; too far away, we’d freeze. Either way, the
results would extinguish life.
Instead, we are exactly where we’re supposed
to be in our place in space.
Think about the implications for your personal life. We are exactly where we are supposed to be. We revolve around God, just as the earth orbits the sun--not the other way around.
Most importantly, ask God to keep you in the center of His will,
in your own personal orbit around the One who loves you most—not too far and always closer still.
