A few weekends ago, our grandson, Jackson and I, headed down to the Museum of Science and Industry and its Omnimax Theater to see the Hubble Space Telescope movie. Film from the telescope showed a vastness to the heavens, a depth to an ever-growing universe, so beautiful, yet distant beyond imagination. And I thought to myself, the more we know about our expanding universe, the smaller we humans become. These verses reveal something even more extraordinary. Our Lord, the Creator of the magnificent universe, has his ear attuned to the desperate cries of his people, who are as minute as the dust. Yet he knows us and hears us and counts us significant enough in his great cosmic order to be intimately concerned with our troubles. Even more, despite our repeated failings, our faltering steps, our pathetic sins he extends his forgiveness and bathes us in lavish love. It is beyond our comprehension, understood only by the organ of faith. Yet it is our hope, constantly affirmed in the scriptures, repeatedly affirmed in our lives, and ultimately confirmed on the Cross, that he redeems us. Praise be to our Lord!
