20 Quadrillion Years

How big is God?

Is He able to meet my needs?

Consider the universe. I travel to the States a lot. It takes about 6 to 7 hours on a 747 at about 500 mph to get there. If I travelled at the same speed, nonstop to the moon, it would take 3 weeks to arrive. The Sun? 21 years of constant travel. The edge of our solar system? 900 years!

And if we were to travel on a 747 jet at 500 miles per hour to the farthest star discovered by our telescopes, it would take 20 Quadrillion years. That's a 20 with 15 noughts after it!

Is God big enough to meet my needs? The Bible says he made the stars. The God of 20 quadrillion years worth of stars is the God who cares for me.
