You think of me HOW MUCH?!?!?!

---

I was reading Psalm 139, and I came to verse 17 and 18:

"Precious are your thoughts of me, O God!
So great is the sum of them!
If I counted them, they would be more in number than the sand of the ocean..."

Which got me thinking. I am a very visual person, I need to picture things to take them in. And I just could not imagine what a number like that looked like. So I started to do a little bit of research and math (and when my mind got too overcome to add, I passed it over to a genius friend of mine...)

So it goes like this....

There are 1000 litres in a cubic metre (1 litre occpies a space of 10cm cubed), and 1 TRILLION litres in a cubic kilometre.


The World Ocean (The World/Global Ocean being the interconnected system of the earth's oceanic waters, and comprising the bulk of the hydrosphere) has an approximate volume of 1,347,000,000 cu/km {1.347 billion km(power of 3)}.


Therefore 1,347,000,000 x 1,000,000,000,000 = 1.34700 x 10 (power of 21) litres of water.

Another way of saying that is 1.35 SEXTILLION litres of water in the oceans, which is also 1.35 trillion-billion.


Every litre of seawater has approximately 35grams (1.2oz) of dissolved salt. There is 47.25 sextillion grams of salt in the ocean (472,500,000,000,000,000,000).

There is 6grams salt in a teaspoon. approx 40,000 grains of salt in a teaspoon. (200,000 grains in 35grams).

472,500,000,000,000,000,000 / 35 * 200000 = 2,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.'

That means there is approximately 2,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 grains of salt in the World Ocean. That is 2.7 septillion/quadrillion grains of salt.

I barely even know how to SAY that number....
After I worked all that out I realized that it said grains of sand as opposed to grains of salt. But apparently there is even MORE grains of sand than salt in the ocean, and God isn't gonna be picky about the numerical difference between sand or salt.

So get this... the amount of times God thinks about you is MORE than the grains of salt in the entire ocean. He thinks of you more than 2,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times. And that is a low estimate.

I can't comprehend that.

Just think about it.

He loves you.

Perhaps all that math and rambling means nothing to you, but to me it was huge. Like something heavy hitting me at an intense gale-force.

I really pray that God would give you a revelation of how much he loves you... He'll show you in a way that means something big to you.

Dancing in puddles of loooove....
