Sometimes we forget how big God is. Or rather we don't want to feel how small we are compared to God. During Chris Tomlin's "Indescribable Tour", a speaker—Louis Giglio— talked about our place in the Universe from God's POV. The thumbnail image on the left inside that ray of light is a speck called the "Pale Blue Dot". That's Earth from four billion miles away taken by Voyager 1.

Carl "Billions and Billions of Stars" Sagan wrote about this on his Reflections on a Mote of Dust.

This, a psalmist's reflection: Psalm 8:3-4.
