the infinite God and the possibility
of other worlds. Job chapter 11, verses 7 and
8. Can you fathom the mysteries
of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher
than the heavens. Lift your eyes to the heavens
and you will see something truly astonishing, a universe without
measure. Billions of galaxies, each filled
with billions of stars, stretch out across an unfathomable expanse. The sheer scale of creation defies
comprehension. It is not just vast. It is infinite
in every direction we look. And scripture tells us exactly
why. It is the handiwork of the infinite
God. Great is our Lord and mighty
in power. His understanding has no limit.
His power knows no boundaries, and neither does his creative
capacity. What he has made is not only
beautiful, but also boundless, designed to reflect his limitless
glory. And if that is so, then who are
we to say that he has not populated this vast universe with other
creatures of his design, beings perhaps utterly unlike ourselves,
beyond all human imagination? The Bible is clear that God created
man in His image and placed him upon the earth to display His
glory. But the Bible does not say that
this is all that God has done. It would not be inconsistent
with His wisdom or power to form other worlds, filled with rational
beings that we cannot fathom, creatures who serve Him in ways
known only to Him. Their form, purpose, and nature
may be entirely different from ours, yet all would exist for
the same ultimate reason, to glorify their Maker. Such a thought
does not diminish man's significance. It exalts God's magnificence.
We are not the center of the universe. God is, and it is entirely
fitting for an infinite God to create far more than we can see,
understand, or even imagine. His works are unsearchable and
His ways are past finding out. Let us humbly stand in awe of
the greatness of God. Let us be content to marvel at
what He has revealed and to trust Him for what He has kept hidden.
The infinite universe is not about us. It is about Him. and whether in earth or heaven,
in this world or in others yet unknown, the whole earth is full
of His glory. Romans chapter 11, verse 33. Oh, the depth of the riches of
the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments
and His paths beyond tracing out! Isaiah chapter 55, verses
8 and 9. For my thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than
the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts
than your thoughts.
