Pale Blue Dot and our awesome God!
Some time ago I posted a link to the Louie Giglio tour, indescribable (in Christian chat) If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it! I have cried at the immenseness and love of our God everytime I've watched it!
I praise God for it, for many times it has helped me get things in perspective. Sometime when we're on here and watching all the world events,we loose sight of the God that is coming back for us. How much control He really has. This link will remove any doubts about His sovereignty and will help you understand just how much He loves you! It takes my breath away and humbles me beyond believe. It fills me with so much reverence and love for my beautiful creator! He surely does deserve all our praises
One of the photos shown is a famous one called the Pale blue dot, and I just wanted to add it here as a praise to God. If its the only one you see its enough!( the tiny blue dot in the redish ray is earth, click on picture to enlarge) To think that the vastness of our God has stooped so low to stand on this dot, and that He will do it yet again, blows my mind!!! Thank you my precious Lord, we are so unworthy of such grace!!
The photograph was taken 14th Feb 1990 from Voyager1 and its from 4.0 million miles away! We only see the dot because of the ray of light (somehow I don't see this being just by chanceGod wanted us to see it!) Carl Sagan wrote this about it. While I agree with most of what he says, I know he's wrong about one part!!!

We succeeded in taking that picture [from deep space], and, if you look at it, you see a dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever lived, lived out their lives. The aggregate of all our joys and sufferings, thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilizations, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every hopeful child, every mother and father, every inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every superstar, every supreme leader, every saint and sinner in the history of our species, lived there on a mote of dust, suspended in a sunbeam.
"The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of the dot on scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner of the dot. How frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, are challenged by this point of pale light.
"Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity -- in all this vastness -- there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. It is up to us. It's been said that astronomy is a humbling, and I might add, a character-building experience. To my mind, there is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly and compassionately with one another and to preserve and cherish that pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."
