Our universe is the home of the infinitely large and the infinitely small. We can peer through telescopes to see deeper and deeper into space only to discover that where we live is larger than we can imagine. We can then peer into microscopes and discover that our world is even smaller than we can imagine.

Your family can go to a water park or an amusement park, and there you will find lots of entertainment, bur for all the things you can do, there is a limit. There is not an infinity of rides; there is not an infinity of food. The world that God created for you and me to inhabit is an infinity of wonders and for all of our scientific study and for all of our explorations, we have little more than scratched the surface.

We could picture God looking at human beings scurrying around and believe that from God's perspective it must be similar to a child watching an ant farm. The amazing thing about God is that this is not how God views humans. For all the vastness of creation God is capable of looking down with love and compassion upon each and every one of us, as well as each and every bit of the created order. You are not some ant running around to God; you are unique and special and loved.

When God sees that you are carrying a heavy burden, that is not some source of curiosity to God, it becomes a cause for concern. When your heart is broken, when you hurt someone, when you are in need of help, our God, the maker of heaven and earth, is deeply concerned and wants to help.

Seeing God as the creator of the universe is an easy thing for us to do. But just like our attempts to understand creation, to know God as the Maker is to barely scratch the surface.
