Indescribable
In the DVD video message ‘Indescribable’, Louie Giglio uses the universe as an object lesson to help explain the magnitude of God. Comparing man and earth to the rest of the universe Mr. Giglio said, “I’m not trying to make you feel small – I’m telling you that you are small!” As one who is geographically challenged, I always viewed the earth as being pretty big. In fact, when God kicked Satan out of heaven I thought He [God] was being generous to give this rebellious angel rule over the whole earth. The vastness of the universe was once Satan’s playground, now he’s grounded.

Gail;
-----I once saw a bumper sticker that read, “God is too big to fit in one man.” I wanted so bad to have a few minutes of that driver’s ear. I have heard all of the speck of dust and hairs on the head “don’t it make you wonder” stuff. And, frankly, it is quite revealing about God. And that is just it.
-----Satan grabbed for the big time. He was going to be God! he was going to be over all! And all existence was going to be about him! But that is not God. God created a physically insignificant place in a universe where stars far outnumber all of the grains of sand on all of the Earth’s seashores, and where the proportionate distances between them are greater than the proportionate distance between a grain of sand on our Atlantic coast eastward to another one on our Pacific coast. In all of that vastness, upon this tiny point in space, by loving a spiritually senseless, gullible, and sinfully depraved creature, God demonstrates that the first aspects of Godhood are selflessness, humility, mercy, and love. In the demonstration of that, God fit Himself in one man. For what cannot humble itself is arrogant.
