Pondering Life

Pondering life.  Do you ever ponder your existence?  Do you ponder the earth's existence in the universe?  Do you ever just sit alone in a room and look around you and wonder how anybody could actually be convinced that we all just sort-of got here because of a huge cosmic accident that is not replicated anywhere in this vast universe?  Most of us don't ever sit still long enough to ponder life because we are so overwhelmed trying to live life.  There are bills to pay, deadlines to meet, children to raise, problems to solve, relationships to repair or let go, meals to cook, things to fix, jobs to find, exams to pass, diseases to fight, and the list goes on and on and on.  And some of us never live beyond the womb while some live over a century and outlive everyone in their immediate family.

To say that life is a mystery is the biggest understatement ever!  The Psalmist tried 3,000 years ago to capture this pondering when he wrote Psalm 8:3-9
When I consider your heavens,
    the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
    which you have set in place,
⁴ what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?

⁵ You have made them a little lower than the angels
    and crowned them with glory and honor.
⁶ You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
    you put everything under their feet:
⁷ all flocks and herds,
    and the animals of the wild,
⁸ the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

⁹ Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
