Ever expanding cosmos...

So, I've had this thought for the past few weeks. If I am a follow of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I am following a God who by his very nature creates. He created the universe, and he continues to create. We see the world changing; we see shooting stars, and we are told that the universe continues to expand.

If God creates by his very nature, it shouldn't come as a surprise that he continues to create and expand the cosmos. So, what if creation always is expanding? Always.

What if God continues to create space and planets and matter long after we realize the fullness of the kingdom (after wars and rumors of wars have ceased)? What if we always have new places to explore -- forever. What an exciting God we are learning to follow. A God who has created all things, and will continue to create all things. A God who loves without reason, and a God who has amazing grace in the midst of his infinite power.

And to think that tonight there will be more stars in the sky than last night. And there will be more stars and planets to explore tonight... and what if God never ends this process. I'm excited to follow this kind of God.
