The Ultra Deep Field observations represent a narrow, deep view of the cosmos. Peering into the Ultra Deep Field is like looking through an eight-foot-long soda straw.
Have you noticed that God is into spacious places? Everything He creates is full of beauty, wonder and space. Just stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon, peer up at the full moon at night or gaze out over the ocean on a sun drenched day. The wonder, the awe and the unique design of God’s creation takes our breath away. These spaces refresh our spirit and cry out about the nature of the creator.
Space has a magnetic quality. Whether it is outer space, the ocean floor or the promise of the new world, man has always been intrigued by space. There is something about the kind of space that God creates that echoes and resonates in the heart of man. In our quest to know our creator we are somehow mysteriously drawn to those spaces that whisper His name.
Studies have shown that living in over-crowded conditions contributes to stress, alienation, isolation, powerlessness, and aggression. Standardization and replication speak of man’s propensity for conformity. God’s canvas of space invites us to join Him in His creative work; to become a unique, one-of-a-kind expression of His grace and design. And so David wrote in 2 Samuel 22:18b, 20a; “He reached down from on high and took hold of me … He brought me out into a spacious place.”
Our hearts long to join God in a spacious place. Space where we can think and dream, space where we can connect with God, space where we there are no limits, space where we can explore, space where we break down walls of isolation and connect with others, space where we can become all God intended for us to become. Our hearts are on a quest, a quest for space, a quest for God.
