Big And Small

Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. (Psalm 147:5 KJV)

Big things
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? (Psalm 8:3-4 KJV)

In the past, men used to think that the earth is flat and the sky was like a big roof over the flat earth, with the sun transversing it by day and the moon by night and stars are like little lights on the roof. Now even with the most powerful telescope, we realized that we still cannot see the edge of the universe.

Small things
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. (Psalm 139:14 KJV)

By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. (Hebrews 11:3 NASB)

We look at the cells that made up our body. They are so wonderfully made. Everyone is a small nano-computer. Men used to think that the smallest indivisible bit of matter is the atom. Then they discovered protons, electrons and neutrons. Then they discovered smaller particles.
