Center of the Universe

Ephesians 1:22

He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church.

Tapping the collective shoulder of humanity, God points to the Son – his Son – and says, “Behold the center of it all.” When God looks at the center of the universe, he doesn’t look at you. When heaven’s stagehands direct the spotlight toward the star of the show, I need no sunglasses. No light falls on me.

Lesser orbs, that’s us. Appreciated. Valued. Loved dearly. But central? Essential? Pivotal? Nope. Sorry. The world does not revolve around us. Our comfort is not God’s priority. If it is, something’s gone wrong. If we are the marquee event, how do we explain flat-earth challenges like death, disease, pandemics, slumping economies, or earthquakes? If God exists to please us, then shouldn’t we always be pleased?

Could a cosmic shift be in order? Perhaps our place is not at the center of the universe. God does not exist to make a big deal out of us. We exist to make a big deal out of him. It’s not about you. It’s not about me. It’s about him.

Thought –

We have a hard time with this truth. In times like this we can certainly make it about us and our needs. We can think about all the things we’ve lost and our lives that are on pause to some degree. I do believe are focus needs to continue to be on him. The Creator whom created us. Find some time today and spend some time with the Creator. Let’s make a choice to find him in the midst of the chaos. Let’s worship the One at the center of the universe.

Here is a great song to get you started…

Stay safe. Love people.

Love ya
