Something to chew on…
As you read this post, 300 million cells are dying in your body and being replaced and regenerated, on their own, according to the specific instructions in your DNA.
Your lungs are breathing in air, oxygenating your blood, which is being pumped out by your heart, constantly, rhythmically, at about 60-70 beats per minute, nourishing all 50 trillion cells in your body.
All the nerves and senses in your body are sending 11 million bits per second of information to your brain which is processing all of it while you are only conscious of about 50 bits per second.
Meanwhile, you are standing on the side of a massive globe, being held in place by the force of gravity, while rotating at 1000 mph, orbiting around the sun at 67,000 mph, and speeding through space at 450,000 mph.
And on this globe, you are one of 7.7 billion people…of whom 99.99999999999999% are outside of your control when it comes to their thoughts, opinions, affections, or choices. You can only control your own thoughts, opinions, affections, and choices…and even in your own life you often fight against yourself and struggle to understand yourself.
So be humble. You are not in control.
And learn to trust and rest in the One Who is.
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
Trust in the Lord forever,
For in Yah, the Lord, is everlasting strength.
(Isaiah 26:3-4)
