Looking into the night sky, you recognize the extreme smallness of man. There visible, away from the city lights and sounds, you discover the billions of points of light. It has been so seemingly from the beginning, when God would demand of Job, that of man looking up to discover what no other man has found.
“Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?”
So it is in the recognition of our smallness that we begin to look for greatness. It seems that the smaller we recognize that we truly are, the more we look for a new achievement in life.
Man has chronically peered into the heavens, searching for the keys to life and control of the seasons. Others have looked into the starry sky to find a future that really only exists in the hands of God. As the Tower of Babel was built, perhaps as an astronomical observatory, its completion was inhibited by God, as man would do whatever he put his mind to do by reaching for the stars.
Sometimes you find yourself flattened by the cares and stress of life, laying supine on the battlefield, and only then, looking up do you find yourself mesmerized by the twirling of the stars.
Science will tell you that there are undiscovered worlds that you can only find by using some unusual methods. Planets are found in relationship to stars, and as stars are so bright you can’t see through there brightness, you must pay close attention to the abnormal movement of these stars to discover the world of which you are looking for.
It is called a wobble, a decidedly unscientific term, but when you are reaching for new worlds, a new vocabulary comes with it.
On the one hand, there are wobbles in your world. Holding on to stars that have no future, there are those that are causing a bit of a wobble in the orbit of the star, and only by discerning will we have the spiritual “bump” that prods us to discover a new world of one more lost soul.
But on the other hand discovering those new planets involves a search of epic proportions, as they are found by discriminating between photons of the star and contrasting them with those of the star. The Bible is clear regarding the day of small things. . . those things that otherwise might be overlooked and passed by.
David brought cheese and wine to a battlefield and came away a hero. It hounded him for a number of years before he ascended the throne, yet if it were not for a bit of cheese and wine, David might have lain undiscovered.
Sometimes we stand in the place of Gideon, discovering something that inside of us only by the wobble of a threshing floor. When God came near, Gideons’ world began wobbling around. It introduced him to greatness.
If your world is wobbling back and forth, have courage, for when God is near, the brightness of his expressed glory begins to move your life around, but there is a new world that is about to be opened to you.
