space and time

Last night I looked into the clear, cold winter sky. I thought about the fact that the farther we look into space, the farther we’re looking into the past. When we look at Cassiopeia, we’re seeing something that was present an estimated 500 million years ago, before God even created the earth. That star constellation may not even exist today. Psalm 90:4 says of God: “a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past.” When I look up at the wonder of the universe God has made, I’m reminded not to worry so much about time (because I tend to do that.) I’m reminded that space and time are relative and what’s important is my relationship with the One who is Lord of them both.
