Where is God? Where is He Not?

Sherry Attributes of God, Character of Jesus, Christian Life, promises, Sovereignty of God

And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory…Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. – Isaiah 6:3, 9

Even when men rejected Christ, even when hearts were fat, and eyes were dim, and ears were heavy, even then the whole earth was full of the glory of Christ. When scientists tell us that they cannot see God, I am amazed. To me it is impossible not to see Him. Though I cannot pry with the scalpel into the anatomy of the human frame, yet when I look upon the mere skin of the human countenance I see the handiwork of God. Though I cannot dig into the lower strata of the earth and disentomb the fossil and decipher its stone preserved memorial, yet to me rock, and clay, and sand, and relic of the past, bear the sure hieroglyph of God. Though I cannot inform you of all the interesting details of insect life, or descant upon the secrets of botany, yet to me bees bring honeyed thoughts of God, and flowers breathe the perfume of His love. Where is God? Say rather, Where is He not?

…Alas for the ears which cannot hear when earth, and sea, and heaven, and hell, are all echoing to the tread of the Omnipotent Christ of God. Oh brethren, have you ever seen this vision, have you ever seen God’s glory filling the whole earth?  ~ C.H. Spurgeon

  1. Hi Sherry about your post is the title something we could have asked when are loved ones were dying but didn’t because we know He was and is with us. If my question has nothing to do with your post I’m sorry.
