That same power, the power almost like a force of hurricane, also has a surgical precision, and love and personality to bend down on one knee and look you in the eye and say ‘I care about you’. In fact, ‘I die for you’ just so I could have a relationship with you


Josh Benudim - Teaching on the book of Habakuk "crying out to God" 

Look next at the world. Consider the size of it, the variety and complexity of it; think of the nearly five thousand millions who populate it, and of the vast sky above it. What puny figures you and I are, by comparison with the whole planet by comparison with God?

"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in - Isa 40:22

The world dwarf us all, but God dwarfs the world. The world is his footstool, above which he sits secure. He is greater than the world and all that is in it, so that all the feverish activity of its bustling millions does no more to affect him than the chirping and jumping of grasshoppers in the summer sun does to affect us. Behold your God

Knowing God, Packer, pg 87

"Surely the nations are like a drop of bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales; Before him all the nations are as nothing; they are regarded by him as worthless and less than nothing" - Isa 40:15, 17

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance - Isa 40:12
