Pray for James Webb telescope. It finally launches after its concept in 1996. That’s a piece of technology 25 years in the works, a 1/3 of a man’s life. But really 100,000,000 man hours went into it, or 27,777 years, or 347 lifetimes. God open our eyes further to your works.
Technology is man kind’s friend. If we shunned technology, we would not have the car and be stuck on buggy whip horse driven carriages. Worse yet, if we shunned inventions, we wouldn’t have rope and pulley. Go far enough back shunning even using tools at all and we don’t have houses. We’d all be lying naked in the rain if we shunned tech.
I say this not because Christians particularly shun tech, but American culture has been sold a lie called “Ludditeism”. Ludditeism basically is taking a movement like environmentalism or workers rights, but hijacking it to blame technology as the root of all evil. At it’s core it is an attack on society by disinformation. It is a lie pushed by foreign powers who want to destroy our freedoms. They bribe politicians, tv, music, movie, news and famous personalities to drop lies like,”Automated tellers put cashiers out of work therefore they are evil.” or “Oil Pipelines put truckers out of work.” But we know most cashiers hate their jobs and would rather be doing something else. Never in my lifetime has there been more need for truckers with the supply chain problems caused by having to truck/train oil. Ludditeism’s saying that all technology is the devil is a lie that comes from the devil. Now Christians should not fall for a lie.
As the devil seeks to crush us back down to the stone age, God wants to elevate us to space. This James Webb Telescope is much more powerful than the Hubble which images you remember as being awesome, right? And the James Webb telescope will see a new spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum. This should be awe inspiring. Please pray that it goes well. I have heard there might have been political pressure to rush the launch too soon… But it is launching Dec 25,2021, Christmas Day, so please pray.
Images from the Hubble, of God’s Creation. Remember James Webb is a better quality telescope and will see in a new never before seen spectrum in this depth. Maybe more will have their eyes opened to God.
Close with the same as the opening: Pray for James Webb telescope. It finally launches after its concept in 1996. That’s a piece of technology 25 years in the works, a 1/3 of a man’s life. But really 100,000,000 man hours went into it, or 27,777 years, or 347 lifetimes. God open our eyes further to your works.
Bonus an ode to Canadarm: Oh Canadarm, our chrome and weighted hand. True patriot glove who all the stars command. [A fun space joke about Canada’s effective addition to the space station. True command of the Stars belongs to Jesus and his Father. The God of Love is in control, so never fear. Amen.]
