Have You Ever Wondered?

Give me a moment of aloneness whether walking, driving or working and my mind will wander. It wanders into areas that seem far-fetched and impossible. It gallops freely in fields of could be’s and what if’s. It moseys along in a maze of shrubbery enjoying getting lost in the wonder.

Tonight while driving home a thought hit me.

What was God doing before He created the world?

Have you ever thought that?

Was He sitting in the dark imagining and dreaming up the endless possibilities? I cannot imagine God sitting in the dark, but was He? Or was He sitting in His light concocting the notion of a universe that expands constantly faster than anyone can ever know?

Was He sitting around a table with Jesus and the Holy Spirit having coffee like Seinfeld and his band of characters talking about nothing spectacular?

How long had He been contemplating making the earth before He started the creation? Of better yet, how long had He been thinking of me and numbering my hairs and laugh lines before putting on the finishing touches?

If God has always been around (and I use the word “if” loosely because I believe what the Bible says) at what moment did the thought of me enter His brain?

Had He been thinking of me for almost an eternity or did something cause Him to start thinking of me? To be a fly on the wall when God had an epiphany.

Have you ever thought these thoughts?

Have you ever sat in silence for a moment and considered that time that we know is nothing compared to the time God knows. If God has always been and will always be, what if time doesn’t mean anything to Him? What if he can pop in and out of time like a science fiction film. One minute be listening to my current rambling of time and next be 4000 years ago and in another minute be at the moon landing in the 1960s.

What if God knows everything because He goes to 5 years from now and then jumps back to our present? I may be sounding like a comic book…but what if?

What if everything we know of God is but the surface. What if He has an entire book and we are just in the first paragraph of fully understanding His glory. What if the most unbelievable thoughts and notions we can conceive are mere child’s play compared to the thoughts and notions of God?

So happy thinking.

May we never lose the wonder as we wander into the wonder of God.

Peace
