Big Numbers

How high can you count?
How fast can you do it?
Can you count the drops of rain
that fall to the ground during a storm?
Can you count the molecules of air
that fill the skies above the seas?
Can you count the grains of sand
that cover the beaches of the Earth?
God knows every grain of sand by name and
where it resides at any moment in time.
He remembers where it was in ages past and
He know where it will be in the distant future.
How high can you count?
God smiles at the trivial numbers
used by man and his super computers.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.
