It occurred to me today that it is a good thing that God is "invisible". Even though He's all around us and made every particle of our being, our lives are so fashioned that we aren't completely aware of His presence. This is a good thing! The way God has set up our lives, we have a relationship with Him that is built on trust. As we encounter the real and tangible issues of this life we learn to turn to the invisible one who is above all and yet who is aware of all and who is able to deal with every concern. As we place our trust in Him and find Him to "be there" we learn to come back to Him again and again...not because He insists but because we prefer Him. One day, when we are beyond the constraints of this life, we will be directly in His presence and His light will replace the sun. But these are the days when we can choose Him....when we have the option of not doing so. Truly our Lord is the meekest of all...a great Lord of all who never insists on our worship but, rather, draws us and woos us with His loving care. Yes, He is here and our time is never better spent than when yielded to thoughts and conversation of and with Him.
Hebrews 11:27 "By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible."
