The Pleiades contains over 3000 stars, is about 400 light years away, and only 13 light years across. (1 light year=5.87849981 × 10¹² miles)

"Does the rain have a father?
Who fathers the drops of dew?
From whose womb comes the ice?
WHo gives birth to the frost from the heavens
when the waters become hard as stone,
when the surface of the deep is frozen?
Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades?
Can you loose the cords of Orion?
Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons
or lead out the Bear with its cubs?
Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set up God's dominion over the earth?....
Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?
Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?
Do you count the months till they bear?
Do you know the time they give birth?
The crouch down and bring forth their young;
their labor pains are ended.
Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;
they leave and do not return."
Job 38: 28-33; 39:1-4

I am being reminded and shown in a new light how huge our God really is. Our pastor at church is doing a series on God's perspective. If He is so big, and yet so loving to each of us, then nothing is IMPOSSIBLE with Him. He can do anything. and He can use us for any reason if we will let him and trust Him.
