do you ever think about...

Do you ever think about how a country 11,000 miles away from you sees the exact same sun and moon as you?
Do you ever think about the ocean; how its waves know just how far to come onto shore?
How gravity allows an 875,000 pound airplane to travel 39,000 feet up in the sky or how this same plane knows exactly where to land; no street signs or landmarks.
How swallowing involves more than 30 different muscles in and around your throat that take action in less than one second.
How you just breathe and blink without thinking about it.
How you could hear a song you haven't listened to for 8 years and remember every lyric or how there are 7 billion people in the world and not one shares the same finger print or tongue print as you?
How you lived and grew inside of someone else's body for 9 months?
How not one snowflake is alike?
Do you ever think about those who are breathing with someone else's recycled lungs or how your brain holds approximately 1,000 gigabytes of information?
How you can see someone face to face or hear someone's voice across the country through a little device?
How a fish can breathe under water without coming up for air or how a long, skinny snake can eat a rat completely whole.
Have you ever looked at the tiny, intricate details of a butterfly; how each wing is identical?
How we can see a star shining from 25 trillion miles away.
How you can sleep for hours and hours, eyes closed, unaware of what's around you, but your body still knows to breathe? 
How the same cup of coffee tastes good to one person but terrible to someone else.
Do you ever think of the fact that a 600,000 ton ship can float on top of the water and not sink?
Or how we all came from Adam and Eve, yet we all look completely different; how we're all of different ethnicities?
How investigators can find find out who committed the crime by just a strand of hair or a half of a finger print?
How you breathe and swallow from the same mouth yet your food and drink go down one pipe and you breathe out of the other.
Do you ever look at the details of the mountains or how the clouds set perfectly atop the hills?
How the leaves on the trees know exactly when to change colors, when to grow, when to fall.
How all the skin on your body is in one whole piece, there are no seams.
How both the sun and the moon know when to rise and when to fall or how the earth is in constant motion yet we don't feel a thing.
Do you ever think about just how ridiculously complex this life is?

Do you ever think about how God spoke this whole ridiculously complex universe into motion?

Do you ever think about how this man named Jesus was given 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread and fed 5,000 people?
How He made blind men see and the paralyzed walk?
How He parted a sea so people could walk through to the other side?
How He brought dead men to life and by the touch of a hand, made the deaf hear again or how He calmed the storms with His voice?
Do ever think how this man was brutally murdered on a cross, was placed behind a tomb stone and rose from the dead three days later?
Do you ever think about Heaven; this place empty of death, sickness, sin, pain, hurt and tears.

Do you ever think about how the very same man who made all this possible is the same God who calls you by name? Who knows just how many hairs are on your head. Who knows when you wake up and when you fall asleep. Who knows your every thought, every action. The same God who knows the day of your first breath and the very second of your last. Who has every single day of your life planned out and knows all of your strengths and weaknesses. Do you ever think about this man not only hears you when you speak but responds to you?


Do you understand that the very same man who makes this all possible is absolutely crazy in love with you?
