My Place In the Universe

My place in the universe Pondering my place in the universe I wondered, am I really important? does my life make a difference in this earthly existence? Or am I just a grain of sand being trampled upon by imaginary gigantic powers? As I observe the golden globe's rise and fall each day, in spectacular array, I realize that my existence is rather spectacularly insignificant. Watching the interaction of light sharing, the passing of the torch so to speak, of the greater luminary to the lesser every night all for the benefit of us earth dwellers gives me reason to pause. We are so small, less than grasshoppers in comparison to our Maker, yet the heavenly skies in their incomprehensible majesty are designed with us in mind. Oh now you are having delusions of grandeur you say! Ok, think about this, What purpose does moonlight serve if not to be observed by us? Who needs Divine guidance by day and by night? Does the animal kingdom appreciate it's glory and give praise to it's Maker? Or does it require a measure of intelligence and appreciation for the Giver of life, to be able to see more than celestial lights reflecting for our benefit? Can we not see His Wisdom, Love, and Power shining through these reflective lenses? Does not our pondering these celestial reflectors cause a reflex reaction in our interior? Surely that is the purpose, and as a result, my quiet reflections, have become earthly reflections of heavenly realities. Just as these heavenly bodies give silent testimony to their Grand Maker should I not, as an able bodied human a vessel of divine light, also give glory the the one and same Maker? So I understand, and have come to know that the reason for all human existence is to recognize our dependence on and submit our lives to, and use our lives to give glory to our Maker. My insignificant tongue, can at least be used to declare God's glory, and by so doing I am reflecting His love for all humans. In other words, my place in the universe is clearly heard, when I raise my voice and I rejoice, in praising my Creator...in verse. John Derek Hamilton May 09,2016
