Recently, I have been really getting into pictures from the Hubble telescope. I know that it seems a bit random especially since this telescope has been around for over twenty years but these images have stirred my thoughts about the purpose of man in the universe. Why did God create us to occupy one tiny speck of dust in a universe that now spans 14 billion light years and is continuing to expand? Why create something so grand when man can only appreciate so little? As I thought about these things, it dawned on me that God has made the universe with eternity in mind. That one day, we will stand beside him as he spread his arms towards the stars and proclaims that he has made all of this for us to study, explore, and enjoy for the rest of time itself.
I am a huge sci-fi junkie and the thought of space travel and moving faster than the speed of light doesn't seem like a mere fantasy. I believe that man, given time, is capable of doing anything that the mind can imagine. In this life, we are hemmed in by our sin and the death that it brings but once those obstacles are removed, there is a limitless universe that awaits us. In all that we do for the Lord, my prayer is that our dreams will remain grand, as grand as the universe he has created for us.
Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
