God’s Sovereignty Reigns as Congress Holds UFO Hearings
As the debate about UFOs and government secrecy rages on, one thing remains certain for those who put their trust in God: He is in control of all things, including the mysteries that surround us.
While some politicians and witnesses passionately argue about the existence of unidentified aerial phenomena and potential government cover-ups, the faithful find solace in the wisdom of the Scriptures.
According to Fox News, Rep. Tim Burchett, (R-TN) will lead the House’s second big hearing on UFOs of the past 15 months on Wednesday, July 26.
The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.” As believers, we know that the pursuit of knowledge is essential, but we also understand that there are things beyond our comprehension. God’s ways are higher than ours, and in times of uncertainty, we are called to trust in His sovereignty.
The debate about UFOs often delves into questions about government transparency and the veracity of witness testimonies. In these moments, we can draw inspiration from 2 Corinthians 4:18, “While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” Our focus as Christians is on eternal truths, and we find comfort in knowing that God sees and knows all, even the hidden things.
“I believe there is something else out there,” said Burchett. “Dadgummit, whatever the truth may be, we’re done with the cover-up.”
As lawmakers clash over whether the government is hiding something about UFOs, we are reminded of Luke 8:17, “For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and revealed.” While the truth may be concealed for a time, it is a biblical principle that eventually, all secrets will be exposed. This reassurance allows us to rest in God’s timing, knowing that He will reveal what needs to be known when the time is right.
“I’m stopped every weekend back in Knoxville,” Burchett says. “People will stop me and tell me about their experiences (with UFOs). Decorated veterans. Why would they risk their reputations and careers over something that they’re lying about?”
In the pursuit of knowledge, we must guard against falling into conspiracies and unfounded speculations. As 1 Thessalonians 5:21 instructs us, “Examine all things. Firmly hold onto what is good.” As Christians, we seek truth and discernment, avoiding unproven claims that can lead us astray. Instead, we anchor ourselves in God’s Word, which is the ultimate source of wisdom and revelation.
“It is really about getting to greater government transparency,” said Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL). “If the answers are, ‘No, there are no unidentified aerial phenomena,’ then say that. But that’s not what the answers are. The answer is, ‘We can’t tell you.’ And so that leads to speculation.”
While politicians debate the existence of UFOs and witnesses share their experiences, we find peace in the knowledge that God’s understanding is inscrutable (Isa. 40:28). Our faith in Him allows us to approach the mysteries of the universe with humility, acknowledging that there is much we do not know. Yet, we can be confident in the God who knows all things and is the source of all knowledge.
In the midst of conflicting opinions, let us remember Philippians 4:6-7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with gratitude, make your requests known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will protect your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” As we navigate the uncertainties surrounding UFOs and government secrecy, we find peace in prayer and the knowledge that God is in control.
“We’re going to have witnesses who can speak frankly to the public about their experiences. We’ve had a heck of a lot of pushback about this hearing. We’ve had members of Congress who fought us. We’ve had members of the intelligence community and also the Pentagon. Even NASA backed out on us,” said Burchett. “There are a lot of people who don’t want this to come to light.”
Ultimately, whether UFOs are real or not, or demonic entities looking to cause chaos, our faith remains anchored in the One who created the heavens and the earth. Psalm 33:6 declares, “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of His mouth.” The God who formed the stars and galaxies is the same God we put our trust in, no matter what mysteries the universe holds.
As discussions about UFOs continue, may we, as Christians, maintain our focus on God’s Word, seek discernment and place our trust in Him who holds the universe in His hands. Regardless of what the future holds, we know that our faith in God transcends all uncertainties, and He will guide us through the mysteries of life. {eoa}
