Paint Mines, Calhan, Colorado
The phrase "heaven and earth" appears twenty-nine times in the Bible. Isaiah writes, "O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth." Isaiah 37:16 English Standard Version
The Colorado prairie is a good place to view where God's heaven touches his earth. God has made both heaven and earth, whose existence is intertwined with each other.
Both the earth and sky are dependent on God. God is enthroned above all that is created, and yet he chooses to interact with what he made. The psalmist claims God as the "God of Israel." He is Lord of his people.
It is amazing to think that our God, the God who calls all of creation into existence, is also the God who chooses to claim his people as his own. There is the God who is far beyond our comprehension and yet this same God makes himself known.
We human creatures are curious about this thing called earth and how it interacts with the rest of the universe. And as we search to know creation we are struck with the reality that creation will never be fully known.
However, it comforts us to know that this God, who will always remain God, has chosen to reveal himself to us through his Son. Heaven touches earth in Jesus.
