Do you need a reminder of the immensity of God? Last week the nation was momentarily transfixed by a rare lunar eclipse. When we pause to drink in the vastness and the beauty of the heavens, we’re left speechless. Even here on earth, from the majestic beauty of Yosemite Valley to the quiet serenity of the Sahara Desert, mankind is left in awe at the power and might of our Creator. God himself uses the heavens and the earth to showcase His power:

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens,

look at the earth beneath;

the heavens will vanish like smoke,

the earth will wear out like a garment

and its inhabitants die like flies.

But my salvation will last forever,

my righteousness will never fail. Isaiah 51:6

We’re impressed with ourselves because we’ve recently been able to take up close pictures of Pluto, the furthest (sometimes) planet in our solar system. Yet our sun is merely one of hundreds of billions of suns in our galaxy, and our galaxy is merely one of hundreds of billions out there. All of that, vanished like smoke.

The heights of Mount Everest and the depths of the Pacific Ocean will wear out like that old t-shirt crumpled up in the back of our closet. Even the greatest civilizations known to man will die as quickly as that fly you just swatted.

All of that in comparison to God’s salvation and God’s righteousness. Those two things will never fail. Our salvation is secure long after this created universe falls to pieces. God’s righteousness will still stand strong long after the greatest human civilizations collapse into nothing. We serve a big, big God. Hold your head high, believer. Your salvation will last forever.

QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION: How does the perspective of Isaiah 51:6 change the way you live out today?
