When I Consider Your Heavens

I love to look at the night sky. This picture is from APOD, the Astronomy Picture of the Day, one of my favorite sites. The universe fills me with wonder and appreciation.

This is from Psalm 8, a psalm of David:

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

God, who created galaxies, also took the time to make snowflakes such that no two are alike. Even the hairs of our heads are numbered. It seems that, for God, the world has infinite entropy: nothing is interchangeable to Him; everything is unique - even necessary? - to this work of art He has created.

And it is a work of performance art, playing out as it does, moment to moment. We are invited to participate with Him, by our choices in life, in the continuing symphony.
