We spend our whole lives as time travelers. Today’s physicists are rethinking the importance of time as a more fundamental element of the universe. Time has traditionally been viewed as a human reference point to help us anticipate the seasons, number our days, and socially know when to be where. Also, it was thought that time throughout the universe was relative to earth. Now the discussion is considering time on equal standing with gravity and light. We, the people of earth, travel at a speed of approximately 66,627 mph around the sun. It takes one year to complete the circuit. The earth and the Sun travel around the center of the Milky Way at a speed of 448,000 mph, which in turn is travelling through the universe at 1.3 million miles per hour, give or take. All the while everything is perfectly balanced by gravitational forces, like the moon perfectly balanced, rotating around the earth with such precision that the tides of every ocean can be predicted for any date. We have been travelling into the future; it is here today.

Stories and movies are filled with the what if’s of people going back in time to fix the future or royally mess it up. When we read a book or watch a program, we go mentally and emotionally to the time of its setting. I enjoy riding along in the future with Star Trek stories. All of us time travel in our memories past and dreams of possible futures. We long to know the future with certainty. Jesus challenges us to discern today, Luke 12:54-56. We do this by seeking to understand how God is leading us to live, love, witness, and serve, pointing others to the cross and empty tomb, and onward toward salvation today, and the hope of His glory to come.

Keep healthy. Pray mightily. Enjoy your life today. Travel well. And let’s experience the love and power of God together.
