“Know that the Lord, He is God. It is He who made us and not we ourselves.” Psalm 100:3

I watched a video I highly recommend on Youtube called “Vapor” by Michael Gungor recently that explores Ecclesiastes search for meaning in life. The video talks about the history of the universe. Taking their premise at face value they said the universe is billions of years old while man has been here for a few hundred thousand years. For perspective if you stretch out your arms and think of that length as the historical time the universe has been in existence, a simple rub of a nail file from the tip of your fingernails would wipe out all of human history. Our lives are a literal blip in the history of time.

So, Where Do We Find Our Hope?

David reminds us in Psalm 100 that we belong to God, the creator of this vast universe. We spend most of our days and never give these words much thought, but if you sit back and realize the significance of these words a flood of hope should flow through your mind. Forget the universe for a minute and think of the care, the craftsmanship it takes to make a human mind and heart and nervous system and muscles and tendons, and then give you the capacity to think and reason, and then above all that God gave you a free will to decide how you spend your days. Then, with one act of faith on your part, the same creator who made you and all that you can see will unleash His plan for your life. You may say, my life doesn’t look so pretty. My response is open your eyes. This life is but step one in eternity for you. You were made for more. Place your life in the hands of the Creator and find out how much more. Jesus is calling.
