The Day I saw God Everywhere! 2018-06-01T12:04:13-06:00 Paul Bane

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

One day my eyes opened, and I saw God everywhere I looked. When I say everywhere, I mean in every intricate detail of my life experience. On that day, I caught a glimpse beyond the physical world of flesh and blood into the glory of God who is the creating and sustaining Source of all that is.

I saw with spiritual eyes the One who created everything before and beyond the limitations of time. I captured in a moment the awesome truth of the indescribable majesty that Isaiah encounters and literally rocks his being to the core when he perceives the presence of God in the Holy of Holies.

The Apostle Paul describes being caught up in the third heaven and seeing things so wondrous he could only say no eye has seen nor ear heard the things God has prepared for us that love Him. Now when I look at the world I no longer only see the wonder of the physical world, but also the majesty of the One who holds the world and everything in it together.

One day my eyes opened, and I saw God everywhere I looked. I never went back to my old outlook on life!

 

Scriptures:
“It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple.” Isaiah 6:1
“I was caught up to the third heaven fourteen years ago. Whether I was in my body or out of my body, I don’t know–only God knows.” 2 Corinthians 12:2
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9
“He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.” Colossians 1:17
