Learning About God

February 16, 2022

Learning about God. Learning about God is not a one moment in time kind of thing. Learning about God is a 24/7 day in day out kind of thing. Learning about God is like seeing things you have seen before for the first time. It is taking the usual and making them magical and miraculous. Learning about God is a wow, but at the same time it is sometimes an ow. God knows everything about each of us, because we each were created by God. God is much too complicated for us to even contemplate. Humans do not and will not ever know the language that will make us know God. We will never understand who God really is, but what we can understand is what has happened because God does exist. Rainbows, God. Babies, God. Hands, God. Everything you can even think about is God. A doctor is not God, but a doctor has been given the talents to be a doctor by God. The gift of the talents, God. God makes everyone and everything possible. When you can get your head around that idea, then you will be learning about God 24/7. There is never an event or a moment in our lives that is not touched by the hand of God. The pencil sharpener, God. God did not sit down and make the first pencil sharpener, but he created in the inventor a need to invent a pencil sharpener and gave that person the talent to think of such a thing. A pencil sharpener, incredibly common, now, but quite inspired in the beginning. I remember my grandfather sharpening his pencils with his pen knife. In my life of almost 74 years so many things have been invented because of a need to have the unknown exist. Inventors are not the magic; the magic is the thinking that comes into the inventors’ minds. God. God made the inventors invent things that have changed our lives. In the nineteen sixties there were a lot of people of a certain age who were taking drugs to find things that were missing in their lives. I did not do drugs, but I was influenced by the drug culture of that decade. I would watch people under the influence, staring at a pencil or a dime, or a glass of water or anything else in their lives for hours. Just staring, because the drugs they had used opened their eyes to the magical miracles of the most common of everyday things. Anything and everything were a wow to the drug user. All of a sudden miracles were everywhere. Now in the new century which started more than twenty-two years ago, the drug culture has changed to prescription drugs. Everyone is looking for something that is missing in their lives. Drugs, drugs, and more drugs. Is my generation going back to using drugs? Drugs did not work in the long run back during the sixties, and drugs do not create a heaven for you here on Earth today. What is needed is not drugs, but what is needed is to find God. Not behind a burning bush, but rather in the beauty of a singing bird as the sun rises over the horizon. The bird that I am seeing does not know the language to explain God, but the bird has to sing every morning as the sun comes up. He can’t help it. Why does the bird sing? God. God created the bird, and the bird sings his praises to God, as each new day begins. The bird does not know why he sings, but he can’t stop singing. Learning about God is an eye-opening experience. It is a change of focus, and a change of appreciation. What, when, where, or how it all works is summed up in one word God. The reason God makes it work is one more word…Love. God loves all of his creations, and we are all here to be in the moment over and over again of putting the pieces of the puzzle together. God. The more you learn the better your life will be. I am amazed over and over again day by day of how marvelous this world is, and how blessed I am to live in it. I say wow. I say thank you. I say I am happy. Is there a connection here? For me there is, and I do not need to do drugs. Find God. It is not difficult. All you have to do is open your eyes. Have an especially wonderful day.
