subtle is our Lord

We generally think in terms of the mighty power of God and, of course, that is an accurate and proper view.  We like to believe in the God of drama, who does the miraculous, transforms lives completely and runs heaven and earth by His word, alone.   But it occurred to me the other morning that, possibly, it is even more wonderful to find Him in the subtle areas.  When we quiet our troubled minds and allow Him entrance to our thoughts...When we look around at the natural beauty of nature's greens, blues and rainbow colors and see beyond biology to catch a glimpse of the Artist's brush...When we find a song of joy and praise welling up from somewhere deep in our heart with a force that must be expressed through our mouths...When we reflect on the harmony captured by a family..father, mother, and children...so beautifully balanced and so obviously designed by our Father in heaven.  Of course we need the God of power...and He is here.  But when find the subtle presence of our Lord we learn to enjoy Him in more of life.
 
Proverbs 30:18There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
         Four which I do not understand:
        19The way of an eagle in the sky,
         The way of a serpent on a rock,
         The way of a ship in the middle of the sea,
         And the way of a man with a maid.
