We live on a marvelous planet full of life, from beneath the rocks of the deserts, to the bottom of the oceans. Life indeed is teaming on this sphere set in motion and floating in the vast of space. I love to feel the motion of the planet as I set my feet in the movement of breaking waves on a sunsetting shore where water and land embrace. Water in motion is truly the manifestation of a living planet.
Today we can look through a telescope and see other planets orbiting around stars. We can estimate how many stars are in our galaxy and we can see a legion of galaxies by pointing a telescope at a place where the naked eye sees darkness. It baffles my mind to think of how many scenes out there look like a river orbiting around a star:
I have to believe that there are many. And so do many others who look out into the vastness of space to find the planets in the "Circumstellar habitable zone " or CHZ where water can exist in a liquid form. It seems as though these creations are endless. God is truly a loving and merciful God.
On these habitable planets water exists in three states, creating movement called "the water cycle". Through time water sources like rivers and even oceans can change. Imagine if you were a being that was not subject to time. The amount of rivers you could paddle would seem endless on just one planet. Here is tidal evidence showing the ocean was once in Utah, USA. Ironically, these structures were even used in a movie called "Galaxy Quest":

The images of galaxies that we can see today through a telescope are images of galaxies from 12 million years ago based on the limitations we have of seeing at the speed of light. What a blessing to be able to see the creations of long past. Time indeed plays a big role in all our lives and logic tells us that all things subject to time must end. However, that which is not subject to time will continue.

An ancient prophet in a revelatory manor said it like this:
Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Isaiah 56:6
