HOW VAST
By Sally I. Kennedy
September 17, 2010

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of
them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of
sand. Psalm 139:17-18

Each year my husband and I try to get out to the Rockies. We love the
drier air, and those majestic mountains. In September the two peaks
called Maroon Bells are magnificent. The aspen trees, which cover and
coat the hillsides, turn quickly from a lush green to a golden yellow.

It looked like a giant head of broccoli gone to seed. My eyes were
seeing it, while my mind was trying to figure how tall just one of
those trees were.

It was impossible to get my mind around the huge gigantic numbers of
trees it takes to make up that mountainside view. All I could think
of, as I gazed on this incredible site last year, was: "how vast."
How vast!!

The verse came to my mind from the Bible, about how vast are the sum
of God's thoughts…..towards me. Some translations even say
"concerning" me.

Wow. Something else I will never fathom. That's OK, though, because
God is God. And I'm not. I am ever-grateful and ever-thankful our
heavenly Father, for the beauty He puts in our world, and for His
thoughts towards His children.

"Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy
name."
