Empty Space

As I reflect on God's creative power, I think of all He created. Just what is here on our planet is mind boggling. But when I think of outside our earthly box....it has me pondering space. Why is there more out there. He took time to create beyond our natural needs. Man, animals, land & sea, light & darkness, heaven & hell....they all make sence. But why other planets? Other planets lead to outer space. Outerspace leads my mind to question Him in a more complex way. Why did He feel the need to create outside the 'box'?

Outer space is a 'place' that is big. So I, like many, tend to think of a 'higher being'. And in my case....My Heavenly Father. But what perplexes me is the choosing of the 'name'- outer space. Space seems to reference emptiness. But I have come to the conclusion that with God it is just not so. In the spiritual world there is no empty space. God does not leave us to just 'wonder'. He is always there. His presence never leaves us. We are the ones who have left Him and tend to struggle to find Him. It seems that we are looking for Him when a tribulation has presented itself. And then we question why God is taking so long to answer. Or we tend to feel that He has left us in the 'desert' to thirst.

On the contrary.....

Our loving Creator sometimes authors events so that time can be a tool of teaching & learning. Time & emptiness are NOT one in the same.

So as I sit and question the desert I am thirsting in, it is my desire to remember that the 'empty space' (that I have always seen) becomes great education to my soul.
