Can You See It?

 

God perfectly placed all of those stars in the sky.  He also perfectly placed all of those people in our lives, even the ones we sometimes wish he hadn’t.  We have lots of experiences in our lives that if we allow Him, God can use to create a masterpiece as brilliant as the night sky.

 

As gorgeous as what we can see is, there are even more majestic sights in the sky.  Have you ever seen pictures from the Hubble Telescope or some other shot in deep space?  (If you haven’t, check these out: hubble gallery)  In my opinion, these are some of the most awesome displays of God’s handiwork.  These images remind me that God’s plans are infinite and astounding.  They remind me that just because we don’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.  In fact, they may be even more extraordinary than our wildest dreams. 

 

The thing is, if we want to see God’s plans, we must first be connected to God.  Then we may need to look harder, dream bigger and maybe even ask for help.  On our own we could never see The Cat’s Eye Nebula but with the help of a telescope it comes in to view. 

 

I don’t know what God’s ultimate plan for my life is, or anybody else’s, but I know that I want to be a part of it.  So I’m going to do my best to listen more, worry less and remember the words of Psalms 103:11 “As the heavens tower over the earth, so God's love towers over the faithful.”
