Lost in the Ocean #Malaysian Flight
Watching the news has been mostly about the tragic, missing
Malaysian flight and, of course, the dead passengers. This story reminds me of
the old tales, I would hear as a child, about the Bermuda Triangle. I actually
had a high school acquaintance who had started out on a simple boat trip to
Bermuda and went missing, never to return. It’s as if the vast blue, beautiful
ocean swallows up people and vessels as large as planes and as small as a raft.
Having just come off of a Caribbean Cruise, I would go twelve hours at a time
without seeing any other vessel, even planes. Our ship moved at 35-45 miles per
hour. Can you imagine what it would be like to be as small as a person, floating
on a raft, within the scope of that same vast ocean? I can’t conceive of the
fear I would feel.
This thought always leads me back to the idea of a
Creator looking down on this myriad of tiny ants crawling around under a rock.
Finding that Malaysian jetliner would be like identifying one ant that became separated
in a large garden adjacent to the family of ants under the rock. I have lost a
set of keys in my yard, which is ½ an acre, as the key ring fell out of my
pocket while I used my riding lawnmower to cut the grass. I looked for two
days, trying to find 3 shiny keys in the sunlight, in the dark with a
flashlight, having no use of electrical devices. I thought of buying a metal
detector by the second day. Eventually, I gave up looking, as, I suppose, will
happen after millions of dollars are spent searching for the lost passengers on
the Malaysian Flight. You can’t watch the news footage and see much hope.
I’ve read in the New Testament in Luke that God has every bird
counted and every hair on our heads accounted for: (from biblehub.com) 6"Are not five sparrows sold for two
cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God. 7"Indeed, the very
hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than
many sparrows.”
This verse makes me wonder about the magnificence of
omniscience. Is this same God able to know and see every hair on every planet
in all the universes, or are the separate Gods for each universe or planet? No
one who contemplates this with a human brain could even conceive of the kind of
brain or energy that would allow such a tremendous amount of observing power.
Thus, we are asked to believe, nonetheless. Without anthropomorphizing God, I
can’t imagine. As a human being, we can only see in front of us, perceive what
is around us, so even to imagine seeing all around us is a far stretch for our
egos.
Because we can’t conceive the power of God, we
invent machines that observe from space and operate like no human brain can. We
build a machine that can think a million times faster, see a million times
better, and sense to a nanosecond movement in ambient space? We are all trying
to understand what is like to be God and to be omniscient.
Unfortunately, all we have is our humanness, right
now, with some spiritual help, should we choose to believe. But, as you can see
from the different family members of those killed in the Malaysian flight, the
ones with outrage are furious and lashing out. Yet, the ones who try
desperately to make sense of the senseless with faith and spiritual truth, such
as lighting candles and seeking the help of friends and ministers, are
mourning, as they should be.
