Forty years ago today, astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the lunar surface. It was an astounding feat of engineering and scientific effort, but it was also the culmination of countless days and hours of deliberate, intentional planning, evaluation, design, and experimentation. And the source of all these efforts began with a challenge, a goal, an aim set forth to inspire the best minds and best dreams to be engaged in the pursuit of learning.
As the Psalmist wrote so long ago, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” Every move humankind has made into the cosmos has reaffirmed that statement. The infinite details revealed in the exploration of time and space continue to escalate our comprehension of God’s profound and awesome creation. The wonder of our ever growing awareness of the universe is that we continue to be directed by both the physics and mathematics demonstrated in our study and exploration to the intentionally unscientific declaration…”In the beginning God…”
Such is a perspective of faith and yet for many a declaration of experience. The most intense study of creation is only a testimony of the creator…it declares the glory of God…it is a manifestation of His handiwork. For all of our labors to extend our reach into the heavens, we will be ever able to marvel at the wonder of God’s gifts to us all.
Every ocean tide, every array of color in the sunset, every glow of brilliance from the night sky…should cause us to give thanks. God has blessed us. God has sustained us.
God has called us to abundant life in the joy of knowing our hope is in Him.
