An excercise in humility

Today it was time to contemplate God's infinity and magnificence by staring straight into the sky and remembering just how small we are -- how small I am -- how small my problems are in God's glorious plan. I think we all would do well to practice this every day. Just stare into the sky for 30 seconds. What a difference a sense of perspective can make.

"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor." - Psalm 8: 3-5

Love it! Thanks for the recommendation - I get so caught up in the "bigness" of my insignificant problems.
