An unfeeling immense universe. [ Hebrews 11 v1-2 ]

Many years ago I took one of my sons to the cinema,before the movie began,they played a particular song,with the words,''Is anybody out there?''
This was amusing to my son and me,for we were the only people in the
cinema.In this universe with its unimaginable vastness,many people are asking the same question is anybody out there.Surely they think , there must be similar planets,as ours,with living creatures,and if there are ,are
they friendly or aggressive?.The fact is there is no evidence that there are
any such planets,so does that mean we are alone as David Atkinson writes
in an unfeeling immense universe.Here we are the inhabitants of a very ,
very small planet,within a universe that has billions and billions of stars and planets. The good news is we are not alone,as D A.writes,''God is there,God cares,God rules,God provides''.Selwyn Hughes wrote the following,''Let us
be thankful that all creation is energised and controlled not by an impersonal force but by a personal being.Behind everything that moves is not a cosmic force but a compassionate face.We can give a name to that face and know that person: Jesus'' [CP Colossians 1 v15-17].
                                            A  prayer.
Dear God we thank you for Jesus through whom all things were created and sustained,and above all else we thank you that that we are not alone,Amen
