Discovery - into Space for the last time

We live in exciting times. NASA has accomplished so much with its work in the space program. In fact, most of us either do not consider the incredible authority we hold to manage data, physics and the unknown each time a shuttle was launched from Cape Canaveral or we awaited the failure like so many NASCAR fans, waiting for another Big One.

I for one grew up with NASA doing the impossible.

I remember seeing Echo 1 as it circled the earth and we could actually watch it arc across the horizon, a moving star to my 9 year old eyes.

Incredible.

Amazing.

Wonderful.

and yet, still only permitted by the watchful eye of the Creator. He has allowed us to delve into His libraary of secrets in so many of the Dewey-classified disciplines. We have written books about our knowledge and we have modified the way we live exponentially over the generations of the Scientific Revolution.

I am grateful that GOD allowed us to change the way we live. But I still want nothing more than to live under the watchful eye and protective umbrella of His love. The Psalmist told us long ago that we owe Him our every breath. I do not want to change that. I want to live under the authority of a loving Father who allows us to run and jump and play but doesn't let us go beyond His care. I hope you too feel that GOD is ONE who is trustworthy of your love and trust and submission.

The truth revealed in a prophetic statement long ago, "Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" is still the hope I long for and Joshua's proclamation "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" is relevant to every morning I awake.

As I gaze up into the skies, I know so little of the grandeur of the laws that make up what I enjoy in the morning, noon and evenings of my life but I am so incredibly grateful for the One that holds it all together with His word.

Have a Blessed Day!
