We long to see. That's the cry of the very soul of man. It's why we spend billions of dollars to peer to the utter ends of the universe on a quest to "find the beginning." Man's attempt to see into space this week by touching for the last time The Hubble Space telescope underscores the pursuit for meaning and purpose in life.
Can a telescope really give us meaning and purpose? If devoid of the presence and control of an all loving and all caring God, then no. If to reflect the Glory of the Creator of the universe, then yes!
The focus in the media outlets have been on the scientific value of Hubble, rather than probing the deeper life questions that beg our focus towards the Creator God.
Do we really see? Or are we looking with the wrong lens?
"In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." 2 Corinthians 4:4

Your post brings to mind the song, "Open the Eyes of My Heart" by Michael W. Smith...note that the lyrics are not "Open the Eyes of My Mind, Lord." God wants our hearts to see and acknowledge Him before He wants our minds... great post!
