Infnite in Both Directions

“He is the God who made the world and everything in it. . . . He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need there is. . . . His purpose in all of this was that the nations should seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us.”

Acts 17:24–25, 27

• I grew up near the space coast in Florida and saw virtually each new launching during the 1960s and 1970s. These days, back in Florida after being away for decades, I still enjoy watching the space shuttles hurtling on their way into and out of Earth’s atmosphere. I do have a great love for astronomy and telescopes—and all things space. It all tells me that my Lord is . . . big! Maybe that’s why we usually look up to praise the Lord. Tonight, that moon and those stars are so far away, making me think God dwells at some great distance as well. His sparkling creations astound me—the space and the height! Yet His essence is as close as my breath. God is truly awesome on both sides of the scale—infinitely large, intimately small.
