“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.” Psalm 19:1-2 tells us
Of course, all were created by us human beings could be attributed to God who made everything by men and women. Seemingly, there is enough evidence that almost contain a bit of everything.
As David the psalmist said, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the end of the world.”
There’s a popular song that says God is watching from a distance. Or you may have heard Him referred to as a higher power, the man upstairs or a divine imminence. But the Bible tells us He is a person, and that He is near. James, a man history records as the brother of Jesus, tells us that if we draw near to God, He draws near to us.
It sounds horrible at times when you sit isolate at night. Blessing that God would protect you from anything evil, you hope God would not come too close to yourself simultaneously.
Actually God is nothing. It just what we think in our mind when we need aid helplessly. In today’s world, it’s easy for us to think that we suffer alone. But if you have wondered where God is, so has someone else. Now that you know who He is and where He is, you can help someone else know where God is, too.
However, one doesn’t need to be a scientist to see and feel the greatness of creation all around us.
I think people created him to explain conscience, which we normally explain as our heart and our mind. God lives inside of the people that believe in him. As a conceptual idea, that is where it lives. Science and materialism live in empiricism, concepts, such as god, live in the mind until we create something out of it.
In that sense, god also lives in all art, music, beauty, and terror that has been created by people in his name or following his concept as well.
Imagine that I have stood breathless at the sight of millions of gallons of water plunging over the Niagara Falls, and speechless at the splendor of the Grand Canyon. I have walked in amazement in the Yosemite Valley where mountains of granite seem to reach up out of nowhere to stab the sky in unparalleled artistic beauty.
I watched a sea gull, beautiful and agile, swooping over the waves, tipping its beak into the water to pluck a tasty meal from the sea. I marveled at the grace of a huge pelican, stretching his wings to a span of eight to ten feet as he soared effortlessly above me. So many marvels to see: a playful porpoise dodging beneath the bow of our boat, gliding with ease through the crystal clear water; a curious fur seal, popping out of the sea in answer to a child’s call; a kangaroo bounding across a distant field; and a koala high in a eucalyptus tree. Later, a million stars shone above to dance in chorus with a brilliant full moon and mirror their beauty in a now calm sea.
In life we all see and believe basically what we want to see and believe. If we want to see and believe in God, we can. If we don’t want to see him, we won’t. Most people do believe in God but it is an entirely different experience to find him personally.
