Can you move a brick by blowing on it?

I just thought of this illustration maybe a day ago and it really helped me understand just a tee nee bit more about how Mighty the God I serve really is.

Which is easier to do?

Moving a single brick by blowing on it?
OR taking it in your hand and moving it?

For most of us, the answer is obvious. We would find it maybe a million times easier to simply lift up the brick and move it rather than try to move it by breathing on. Why? Because there is more power in our hands than in our breath.

Ok cool. Now try to wrap your tee nee minds around our huge God.

Psalms 33:6 Says, "By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth."

In case you missed the point, God BREATHED stars into existence. Maybe some pictures will help.

 

Our Sun

VY Canis Majoris

Our sun is just about 1 million times larger than the earth. VY Canis Majoris is the largest known star in all the galaxy. If the Earth was a golf ball, then this star, Canis Majoris, would be the size of MT. Everest. 7 quadrillion earths could fill it. Ya, our God breathed that into existence... !! (There is an awesome video on youtube that illustrates this point way better than I could. It's super interesting so click here to check it out.)

Now onto my next point, let's go to John 10:28-30. It says, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one."

If the BREATH of God is mighty enough to create ginormous balls of fierce flames that never go out, how much more mighty are His hands? Remember our illustration above with the brick? We concluded that hands are more powerful than the breath of a man. How much more powerful are the hands of GOD? So if God is saying that His children shall never perish and no one can snatch them out of His hand, then you better believe it! You are as safe as you can EVER be! You are in the hands of a MIGHTY God who literally BREATHS fire!!!

Wooooot!!
