Melech Of The Universe

Thursday, September 3, 2020

If you were shrinking the universe down to a model, with the earth represented by a ball one inch in diameter, the nearest star would have to be put 51,000 miles away. There are one hundred billion stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way, which is just one of 100 billion other galaxies. In Hebrew, this is called the Olam, the Universe. The traditional Hebrew prayer begins, 'Baruch Atah Adonai, Elohenu Melech Ha Olam...' 'Blessed are You O Lord our God, King of the Olam, King of the Universe.' Whenever you bless God in Hebrew, you remind yourself that He's King of the Universe. He's King of the hundred billion stars that make up the galaxy, and King of the hundred billion galaxies which make up the known universe. Therefore, if He's King of the Olam, don't you think He's big enough to handle your problem? Don't you think He's bigger than your worries and your troubles? It's written, 'If God is for us, who can be against us.' Be at peace my friend. Let Him take care of it. He's Melech Ha Olam, the King of the Universe.
