Sun Days

Our sun is a moderate sized star 864,000 miles in diameter, that's 109 times bigger than earth.  That does not seem moderate but compared to other stars it is.  It's surface is around 25 million degrees F and it consumes 657 million tons of hydrogen every second.  Remind yourself of that the next time you pay your gas bill. 

We have nothing to worry about though because our sun will burn for another 4 or 5 billion years.  Take the sun burning out off your worry list for 2014.  But what does that leave on your worry list for this new year?

Perhaps thinking again about the sun can help, or better yet, the sun's creator.  If God is able to make something of that magnitude, strength and duration -as well as all the other suns in our universe - how big and how strong must He be?  How vast are His sources of strength if He equipped our sun with that kind of power?

Though we can see the sun, we cannot see His infinite strength where we will need it in our future but we can be sure that it will be there because He will be there.  This Sunday - no pun intended - we will look at the source of this verse, "The Lord watches over you...the sun will not harm you by day nor the moon by night."

Do you know where that verse is?  Join me Sunday and we will look at that along with all the other promises that orbit around it.

for the journey...
