How Great is our God. DVD by Louie Giglio

Ps 33: By the word of the Lord, the heavens was made. The starry host by the breath of the mouth. Star breathing God. 

The Video describes 4 stars in the universe, with the intention to help us realise how truly big and marvelous outer space is.

1. Sun
2. Betelgeuse:6 empire state  if earth was a golf ball.
3. mu cepheiI
4. canue majoris : the biggest star. 

  • Shrinking feeling is a good one. Sin has a way of shrinking God and magnifying us. Just a glimpse into the universe should put that into perspective.
  • We are made in the image of this God.
  • You are incredibly special. 96 years just to read the billion of characters in your dna. And then the cell went out to build that model. 
  • We are a miracle. Traces the formation of you in the womb.
Psalm 33
 1 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous;
       it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
 2 Praise the LORD with the harp;
       make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
 3 Sing to him a new song;
       play skillfully, and shout for joy.
 4 For the word of the LORD is right and true;
       he is faithful in all he does.
 5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice;
       the earth is full of his unfailing love.
 6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made,
       their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
 7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars [a] ;
       he puts the deep into storehouses.
 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD;
       let all the people of the world revere him.
 9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
       he commanded, and it stood firm.
 10 The LORD foils the plans of the nations;
       he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
 11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever,
       the purposes of his heart through all generations.
 12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
       the people he chose for his inheritance.
 13 From heaven the LORD looks down
       and sees all mankind;
 14 from his dwelling place he watches
       all who live on earth-
 15 he who forms the hearts of all,
       who considers everything they do.
 16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
       no warrior escapes by his great strength.
 17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
       despite all its great strength it cannot save.
 18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
       on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
 19 to deliver them from death
       and keep them alive in famine.
 20 We wait in hope for the LORD;
       he is our help and our shield.
 21 In him our hearts rejoice,
       for we trust in his holy name.
 22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,
       even as we put our hope in you.

How you know God is going to hold you together?

  • Cells organize into some molecular structure, steel of the human body, glue of the human body.
  • How crazy is that whatever that is holding our body together is in the perfect shape of the cross.

All things were created by Jesus and for Jesus. Everything holds together in Jesus Christ.
God does not always change circumstances, he didn’t change them for Jesus on the cross.
God always has a purpose and plan that will triumph over everything else.
( it doesn’t mean that just because you can’t see it, God doesn’t have a plan)
Does God know what I’m going through and can He do anything?
       
       Do you not know?
       Have you not heard?
       The LORD is the everlasting God,
       the Creator of the ends of the earth.
       He will not grow tired or weary,
       and his understanding no one can fathom.
     He gives strength to the weary
       and increases the power of the weak.
    Even youths grow tired and weary,
       and young men stumble and fall;
     but those who hope in the LORD
       will renew their strength.
       They will soar on wings like eagles;
       they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint.

What does it mean to hope: those who stand in the midst of pain and chaos an dsay: I don’t understand but I’m not going to give up on God. The promise: I will renew your strength.. and when you think you can’t take one more breathe, I will give you more to go on.
