As I was thinking about the vast nature of God's creation, I realized that my musings could be considered "deep thoughts." Naturally, Jack Handey popped into my mind. He had many a profound thought voiced on SNL via Deep Thoughts With Jack Handey, but only one really stuck with me through the years..
"Better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home, his face might burn up." - Jack Handey
Why this stuck with me, I will never know.
Back to pondering God's creation...
"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist." Colossians 1:16 & 17 (NKJV)
I like to think about this verse and go on a head trip. I like the NKJV because "consist" is used as opposed to "hold together" in the NIV and newer translations. "In HIM (emphasis mine) all things consist (again, my emphasis)." In Him all things consist. In him all things are. "For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created.” (Rev 4: 11b)
God could say, "STOP," everything would cease to exist, and we would never even know the difference. We would just cease. But God would still Be.
To quote Ted "Theodore" Logan, "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K."
