something in the air

As I strolled outside this gorgeous morning it occurred to me that there is a lot of "invisible energy" all around and through me all the time.  There's the whole electromagnetic spectrum and beyond visible light there is infrared and ultraviolet energy.  There is radio energy pulsating all about, carrying music, news, opinions and the Gospel message too.  Television is carrying actual pictures and sound through the air and, between the broadcast source and the receiver, it is impossible to see or hear this information as it passes through the sky.  As I gazed at the tall loblolly pines behind my home, at breakfast, and watched them gently sway I realized that they were being pushed by another invisible force, the wind.  Some of the invisible energy travels through the air and some is carried by it, but it is very possible to go through the day unaware of the message content that is swirling all about us all the time.  It struck me that if so much energy is continually moving through the natural world invisibly it is not hard to believe that the Lord's spiritual energy, though invisible also, surrounds and permeates us too.  Radio stations broadcast on AM and FM.  Perhaps the Lord is on SM (Spiritual Modulation).
 
Job 28:20 "From where then does wisdom come?
      And where is the place of understanding?
 21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living,
      And concealed from the birds of the air.
 
blessings,
