Glory Oozes

12/21/2011

In the works of His hands God is revealing His glory and grandeur. Sometimes it surprises us, flaming out for an instant only to recede again into what we normally regard as the commonplace. At other times it seems to ooze around us, gathering strength and power, rich and fragrant, filling the place we occupy with an unmistakable sense of the divine presence. So powerful, so undeniable can be the sense of God’s self-disclosure that it is remarkable that most people seem to take so little notice of these evidences of divine glory and grandeur. Occupied with the affairs of this world, they trudge through their daily routines of trade and toil, unmindful of the glory shimmering and beckoning around them. They take the creation for granted, or even abuse it. Having shod their feet with the comforts of material existence, they surfeit themselves with an abundance of things, preferring these for their own sake alone, rather than for any firsthand experience of God revealing Himself in what He has made.
