Valleys and Mountains

• 

 In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also . Psalm 95:4

Not everyone agrees with this Psalmist’s sentiments. The origin and the vastness of our universe both hide and declare great mysteries. Whether one accepts creation as secondary to happenstance, or to intelligent design, or as the Biblical narrative describes, the complexity and cohesiveness of our universe and its life are awe inspiring and quite incomprehensible despite all the scientific and technological knowledge available to us.

One of the foremost considerations or deliberations about the mysterious existence of the material universe should be that the cosmos has to have had a beginning. Since it is impossible for nothing to produce something, logic tells us that something or someone outside of time and space had to have initiated it. Scripture says that someone is God and that His power, creativity, magnificence, authority and presence are both above and within His creation.

God is everywhere. That means when we seek Him, He can be found even in the deepest, darkest valleys and the highest, peaks of the journey of our souls….

He has promised His seekers: “I will dwell in them And walk among them.I will be their God,And they shall be My people.” (2 Corinthians 6:16)
