The infinite God, and the possibility of other worlds!

Charles Spurgeon, et al.

(You will find it helpful to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.)

Job 11:7-8,
"Can you fathom the mysteries of God?
 Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?
 They are higher than the heavens!"

Lift your eyes to the heavens, and you will see something truly astonishing: a universe without measure! Billions of galaxies, each filled with billions of stars, stretch out across an unfathomable expanse. The sheer scale of creation defies comprehension. It is not just vast--it is infinite in every direction we look. And Scripture tells us exactly why--it is the handiwork of the infinite God.

"Great is our Lord and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit!" (Psalm 147:5). His power knows no boundaries, and neither does His creative capacity. What He has made is not only beautiful, but also boundless--designed to reflect His limitless glory. And if that is so, then who are we to say that He has not populated this vast universe with other creatures of His design--beings perhaps utterly unlike ourselves, beyond all human imagination!

The Bible is clear that God created man in His image and placed him upon the earth to display His glory. But the Bible does not say that this is all that God has done. It would not be inconsistent with His wisdom or power to form other worlds, filled with rational beings that we cannot fathom--creatures who serve Him in ways known only to Him. Their form, purpose, and nature may be entirely different from ours. Yet all would exist for the same ultimate reason: to glorify their Maker.

Such a thought does not diminish man's significance--it exalts God's magnificence. We are not the center of the universe--God is. And it is entirely fitting for an infinite God to create far more than we can see, understand, or even imagine. His works are unsearchable, and His ways are past finding out.

Let us humbly stand in awe of the greatness of God. Let us be content to marvel at what He has revealed, and to trust Him for what He has kept hidden. The infinite universe is not about us--it is about Him. And whether in earth or heaven, in this world or in others yet unknown, "the whole earth is full of His glory!"

Romans 11:33, "Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His paths beyond tracing out!"

Isaiah 55:8-9, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways!" declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts!"
