Carlsbad Caverns & Surface Level Faith

This past weekend we made the trip down to Carlsbad Caverns. I had been there before, when I was a little kid, but it was a totally different experience going now, as an adult. The Caverns are AMAZING! They are truly mesmerizing, breathtaking, and whatever other incredible description you can think of.

We went in the Natural Entrance, which is a giant hole going down into the ground, with a path zig-zagging down as far as your eye can see. As you hike down that path it's truly indescribable the feeling of standing in this massive cavern, understanding you are beneath the earth, looking up to see the hole you entered through, the only source of natural light, slowly getting smaller and smaller above/behind you and countless miles of caverns beneath/ahead of you.

Lost in the Depths of True Life

I was listening to "Lost" by Red on my way to work this morning, and it just struck me so I thought I'd write about it. It reminded me of, what has become, one of my favorite verses:

 

"Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls;
all Your breakers and Your billows have swept over me." -- Psalms 42:7

 

God is so immensely deep and incredible. There is no way that anyone could ever know the depths of who He is, of His love, His righteousness, His wrath, His justice, His wisdom, etc... We can truly spend our lives lost in Him, and not just our lives, but all eternity, every moment finding something new, and it is amazing!
