It's No Big Deal...

Political competition is captivating, sometimes to our detriment. When in the midst of the fight, it is difficult to step away for an all-things-considered perspective. Here's one little fact to put this year's election into a global perspective:

If we could fit our entire solar system... sun, earth, planets... into a coffee cup, the Milky Way would be the size of the United States. Currently, it is estimated that there are over 125 billion galaxies in the universe!

Last night, a few minutes of gazing at the Milky Way reminded me that God is in control. Every shooting star I saw was known by Him, and He is sovereign over politics as well. This week as you pray, take a step away from the political fights and revel in God's greatness as compared to our insignificance!
