Where's God? It was kinda fun looking at those very busy pictures with images hidden within them. Maybe several bits of the drawing made up of twenty separate items that if viewed from the right perspective would render one larger item. Or someone holding a mature 40 foot tree in their hands which upon a closer evaluation would be revealed as a trick using perspective to fool the observer. Or those pictures that would be an eagle or a flag of the United States depending on which part of the picture you focused on first. Well, over the last few years, it seems I have become more and more aware of God's presence in each day. Not an awareness of His becoming more a part of each day, but aware of something that has always been true. A perspective that allows me to see the world as being a creation, (which it is), and to see each day as a chance to experience a unique expression of that creation. Some day I'm going to write a song about an incredible event that is hidden within this great canvas we call our world. An event that is often hidden from our eyes because of the business of our lives. An event that only comes into focus when our paradigm is informed by the creator. An event that would be considered miraculous if it weren't so common. An event that we explain as a normal part of the natural world but whose origin is unknown. An event that gives us life. And the beautiful part of all this is that it is free. It wasn't developed by a pharmaceutical company who has the rights to be the exclusive provider for several years and charge a lot of money until it goes generic. No, this life-giving substance just falls out of the sky with the same alacrity as God's love and mercy falls around us.
Can you see it now?
