I can’t help myself….”May the fourth be with you.” There, the science fiction geek in me was just released. Of course, I am more of a Star Trek guy myself. Pitted against one another the space cowboy Captain James Tiberius Kirk would win over the swashbuckling captain of the millennium Falcon any day. However, since Star Wars is in a distant galaxy (far, far away), and we know from Star Trek there is an impenetrable barrier at the edge of galaxies, there is no way the two worlds could meet. Unless they happen upon a Star Gate.
Imagination is a wonderful and complex thing. We can create worlds that are so different from each other that interchange between them is impossible. Yet, their basic structures are the same. The main characters all look like us. Even the monsters are similar to what is found in nature. We get our creative ability from our Heavenly Father. God’s creative imagination is based only on Himself. We were imagined in His image, and He spoke and the universe came into being. He sculpted man, breathed into his nostrils and he became alive. But sin crept into the world and separated the creation from its creator. But God had already imagined a solution. Revelation 13:8, “and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain.”
Now, for us who repent and believe, the recreating power of God pours over our lives. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Now we patiently “wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.” 2 Peter 3:13. Can you imagine all of this? Can you put words to what only God can describe?
The “fourth” May be with us today, but we will be with God forever. May the Spirit be with you. I’m just saying…
I’m seeing stars. From the Bunker Day 50 again.
