Going Deeper

God is bigger than we think. He does things for our benefit, whether we ever take advantage of them or not.

Have you noticed that He creates things like supernovas and binary stars, knowing full-well that most of us will never see more than an artist's rendition or a computer simulation.

He creates Mt. Everest, knowing that most of us will never get within a thousand miles of it.

He creates tube worms and vampire squid that live miles below the surface of the sea - far out of sight, reach, and in most cases... knowledge.

But all of that is there - part of His creation - done for our benefit to declare His glory.

His Word is much the same. It is a deep as one cares to explore. The Word is boundless, just like Him. How far do we wish to go with Him? Enoch went further than most of us. He walked with God - then he was not, because God took him. Why would God take him? Did he know that was coming? Were they so tight that God offered the prospect to Enoch and Enoch said, "Wow Lord, that sounds fun. Let's do it!" Just imagine what Enoch got in on. He went up - with God - to God - like Elijah did. Up. Now, back then, most went 'down' - into Abraham's bosom. So Enoch went where others did not go. He observed from an entirely different perspective, in all liklihood. He still is!

If we really want change, it's available to us. Most of us, however, have no real desire to change. We've made peace with the rut we are in. We are content to watch Everest on TV and look through our telescope at the heavenlies.

Enoch scoffs.
