The "Everywhereness" Of God

God is closer than we think. He is never farther than a prayer away. All it takes is the barest effort, the lift of a finger. Every moment - right now, as you read these words - is the "one timeless moment" of divine endowment, of life with God.
"This is my Father's world," an old song says, "He shines in all that's fair...In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere." The Scriptures are full of what might be called the everywhereness of God's speaking. "The heavens are telling the glory of God;... day to day pours forth speech."
He talks through burning bushes and braying donkeys; He sends messages through storms and rainbows and earthquakes and dreams, He whispers in a still small voice. He speaks (in the words of Garrison Keillor) in "ordinary things like cooking and small talk, through storytelling, making love, fishing, tending animals and sweet corn and flowers, through sports, music and books, raising kids - all the places where the gravy soaks in and grace shines through."
