“He has the depths of the earth in His hand.” — Psalm 94:4

Krubera Voronya in Georgia is one of the deepest caves discovered so far on planet Earth. A team of researchers descended into the dark and scary labyrinths of a vertical cave, the depth of which reaches 2197 meters! There are about four hundred similar caves in other regions of the country and around the world. With the opening of new caves, new depths are recorded.

The mysteries of creation continue to unfold, deepening our understanding of the universe in which we live and awe-inspiring the infinite creativity of God in creating the earth we are to care for (Gen. 1:26-28). The psalmist calls us to joyfully glorify God’s majesty (Ps. 94:1). So, let’s reflect on God’s incredible work of creating everything visible and invisible. All that is in the world, whether revealed or not, prompts us to bow down in worship to God (v. 6).

He knows not only the boundless physical spaces of the universe, but also the secret depths of our hearts. Sometimes, as in the caves of Georgia, we have to go through dark and perhaps dangerous periods in life. However, we know that God keeps even those difficult times under His strong yet caring control. In the words of the psalmist, we are God’s people, “the flock of His hands” (v. 7).

How has God brought you through dark times in your life? In what place or in what way does He call you to trust Him?

God, help me to rely on Your care even in the darkest places!
