Great Is Thy Faithfulness
This week we have guest stars delivering our message… in fact, billions and billions of them.
I invite you to visit the site and photo gallery of the Hubble Space Telescope — http://hubblesite.org/gallery/album/ Prepare to be amazed, if you have never seen these color photos before… in fact, one is amazed at the thousandth time they are viewed! We are told that many of the “distant stars” we see shining are in reality whole galaxies — that is, shining collections, themselves, of millions of stars and planets.
Amazing Space, how sweet the sights…
Scroll through the photos and let them speak to you about God’s awesome power, His omnipresence. I will tell you one thought that I have:
God Almighty took six days to create the awesome, endless, perfect universe.
However, after lo these many decades… He’s still working on me.
That’s not a wisecrack: that’s good theology. We need to remind ourselves of the gift of free will, and the consciousness of our own rebellion and sinfulness before a perfect and just God. To see pictures like this, and realize our part in God’s creation, is humbling.
And the other thought I have is to be grateful to the depths of my soul for His faithfulness. After all these decades.
…All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest; sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness to Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
