Contributed by Anthony Craver on Apr 28, 2006 (message contributor)
How big is God? Think of the size of the universe. The nearest star is about four light years away from earth. How far is that? That is the distance that light travels in four years. Light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second. This means that the nearest star is about 24 trillion miles away from earth. That’s a long way, but it’s just a speck of distance in the universe. The Bible says about God that He has, “measured heaven with a span. (Isaiah 40:12) That means that He measures the universe in the space between his thumb and little finger.
