Scripture: John 5:17
[Jesus said] “My Father is always at his work to this very day, there and I too am working.”

Thought for the Day: God is always at work. From that first explosion of consciousness that created all matter and reality, viagra sale the universe has been propelled ever outward, purchase God a fundamental part of the being of everything. In my existential thinking, if there is no God, there is no reality. God is the only constant, the only reality. Everything else is a manifestation of God’s imagination. And what a glorious imagination it is!

It is the nature of God to create, and, I believe, God never stops creating. I don’t mean to imply God is a crazy, Promethean, alien scientist in a lab putting things together. God is not a separate entity. This has been the great error of most religions—putting God outside ourselves, on a cloud somewhere, or worse, on a throne, throwing lightning bolts of judgment against a people so primitive, that in the big scheme of things, we might as well be Antelope running on the plain. This is not an image of God; it’s the Emperor, all-powerful and threatening.

I think one of Jesus’ greatest, most misunderstood revelations is the idea that God is within. God works through us, all the time. God doesn’t do things to us, God works on a subatomic, subconscious level, constantly helping us become more aware of the deep meaning embedded in everything in creation. The fingerprints of God are everywhere, to paraphrase Thomas Aquinas. All we have to do is look more deeply, and let God do God’s eternal, inspiring, creative work.

Prayer: Inspire me to know you more deeply, my dear, holy, eternal God of all creation. Amen.
