The Infinite

• 

These boats, fishing in an early morning sea that seamlessly joins an ever extending horizon, remind me of how insignificant we are in a huge universe and that we are present at some inconspicuous point in infinity. And yet, we matter! Along with King David, we can exclaim in amazement and humility to the infinite, transcendent One who has created us and loves us:

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:3-9 (ESV)
