“The sun has one kind of glory, while the moon and stars each have another kind…differing from each other in their glory.” (1 Corinthians 15:41 NLT)
According to Fox News, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft made its historic flyby of Pluto early Wednesday after travelling 3 billion miles on its epic 9 and a half year journey to the dwarf PLANET (sorry, bitter nerd emphasis). It has passed within 7,767 miles of Pluto, roughly the distance between Sydney and Seattle. Earlier images had allowed scientists to identify a pattern of terrain on Pluto’s surface, and all data should be home by October 2016.
Astronomy is fascinating to me! To watch and observe these celestial bodies and gatherings makes me in awe of just how large and complex our universe and beyond really is. And that always gives me a pause, realizing that my Creating God is that much larger than all of creation, than my little, petty problems.
We live in the presence of such universal and heavenly glory, and it bears remembering! Scholars and laymen alike try to push away its reality because of the mysterious unknown and lack of “empirical evidence” surrounding creation. But faith in God, born out of experience and tried by fire, will never be held hostage by another’s argument! Take time to look at Pluto today and remember what an awe-inspiring God you serve! You are loved!
