Awesome!

The specks in the photo are not stars - they are galaxies. The impressive image of deep space, never before observable, was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (see more pictures at HubbleSite.org). Scientists estimate that there are hundreds of billions such galaxies in the deep space - each consisting of billions of stars and planets. My guess is that far beyond the reaches of the best telescopes like the Hubble telescope, are many more billions - maybe trillions or more galaxies. The numbers become meaningless to our limited comprehension and only highlights our utter insignificance amidst the immenseness of the material reality. The word awesome probably correctly describes what all these is to our helplessness.

But here's what is truly awesome: David realized this in Psalms 8. He was aware of the vastness of the heavens, yet he knew that God takes special thought of man - cares for and looks after ("visitest" in KJV) him (Ps.8:4f). David knew that not only did God give man dominion or power over the earth and its resources (v.6-8). David actually used the phrase "all things" to refer to what is being placed under man's dominion (v.6). What does "all things" mean? Hebrews 2:8 says "all things" means everything - nothing excepted. That includes all those galaxies - and the entire universe!
Incredible? That's what the Bible clearly says.
