Fear
Many people have asked me if I’m afraid of going to Uganda, it being more dangerous than the U.S. I always say no, but I’ve recently come up with a more complete answer.
A snail is slow, a turtle is faster, a mouse is faster than a turtle, a cat is faster than a mouse, a dog is faster than a cat, a wolf is faster than a dog, a cheetah is faster than a wolf, a car is faster than a cheetah, a plane is faster than a car, a jet is faster than a plane, sound is faster than a jet, light is faster than sound.
A flea is small, a centipede is bigger than a flea, a mouse is bigger than a centipede, a tissue box is bigger than a mouse, a laptop is bigger than a tissue box, a picnic basket is bigger than a laptop, a person is bigger than a picnic basket, an ostrich is bigger than a person, an elephant is bigger than an ostrich, an acre is bigger than an elephant, a county is bigger than an acre, a country is bigger than a county, a continent is bigger than a country, the Earth is bigger than a continent, the solar system is bigger than the Earth, the Milky Way is bigger than the solar system, the universe is bigger than the Milky Way.
A shadow is dim, a glow worm is brighter than a shadow, a key chain light is brighter than a glow worm, a light bulb is brighter than a key chain light, a television is brighter than a light bulb, a street light is brighter than a television, a stadium light is brighter than a street light, the moon is brighter than a stadium light, the sun is brighter than the moon.
A baby is weak, a child is stronger than a baby, an adult is stronger than a child, a wrestler is stronger than an adult, a gun is stronger than a wrestler, a bazooka is stronger than a gun, a missile is stronger than a bazooka, an atomic bomb is stronger than a missile.
God is faster than light, bigger than the universe, brighter than the sun, and stronger than an atomic bomb, so what do we have to fear?
Well put Joshua. Such wisdom from such youth. You are blessed.
That is an amazing way to put it. I never thought of it like that. I’m really glad you posted that;it made me think about fear in a completely different way!
You are right, Joshua. Thanks for the reminder of Whose hands we are in. Love, Grammy
Love the way you put this!
