You, O God, are far greater than my perception of You. You are beyond the mind’s ability to fully comprehend. When we look at the universe, at atoms and molecules, at the billions and trillions of elements required to produce intelligent life, we are humbled by the staggering complexity of it all.

We are traveling around the sun in a precise orbit at 64,000 miles per hour, covering one and a half million miles per day and 580 million miles per year. Our solar system exists within a galaxy that rotates around its center at roughly 100,000 miles per hour. The universe itself spans nearly 93 billion light years…
