My senses picked up on this because I taught my fourth grade classes about the Earth rotating on its axis.  Since the turning and rotating causes our days and seasons, I was immediately interested.  But then as I read further, I found that the article was not talking about the north/south axis, but something about its mass.  Well, it was getting a bit more complicated than my mind could absorb.  However I read enough to see that it would cause the day to be shorter by 1.26 microseconds.  A Microsecond!  That’s one millionth of a second!  I guess I won’t be too concerned about that!

Then I thought about the song that Stuart Hamblen had written and popularized when I was a teenager, “He’s Got the Whole World In His Hands!”

He’s got the sun and the rain in His hands,
He’s got the moon and the stars in His hands,
He’s got the wind and the clouds in His hands,
He’s got the whole world in His hands.

He’s got the rivers and the mountains in His hands,
He’s got the oceans and the seas in His hands,
He’s got you and He’s got me in His hands,
He’s got the whole world in His hands.

He’s got everybody here in His hand,
He’s got everybody there in His hands,
He’s got everybody everywhere in His hands,
He’s got the whole world in His hands.”

Oh, as a teenager, how I loved that song!  Hamblen’s singing gave me great confidence!  I know I don’t need to be concerned about any of these cataclysmic changes, because I know He’s got the whole world in His hands!  He is totally in control, for did He not create the heavens and the earth?

The Bible also tells me that our earth is held in place by His great power!  Colossians 1:16-17 tells me that,

For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and for Him.
And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

One of my favorite versions translates verse 17:

He existed before anything else,
and He holds all creation together.

Yes, He holds all creation together.  I will not fear these microseconds, for HE is in control!
