YOU’RE TINY

My friend Matt Chandler said something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently.

Matt says, “Nobody ever stood at the base of the Rocky Mountains and turned to their friend and was like, ‘Remember in high school when I could bench press 285 lbs? That was great. I really was powerful back then.’ I mean, the entire universe is built around communicating to you that you’re tiny and you’re fragile and you control nothing.”

It’s a great reminder to focus my thoughts and attention on God, who is so much bigger than any of my problems.
