Where is God?
It's a good question and one that is frequently asked? Where is God? How do we experience God?
Each of us will experience God in different ways. Let me suggest three ways in which we experience God.
First of all we experience God through the voice of conscience. When we do things that we know to be wrong and God speaks to some of us through our guilt. In that way we strive to be better than we were and do better things than we've done.
Secondly, for some God is more absent than present but we experience God in the subtle signs we see in our lives. It can be a rainbow in the sky at just the right time. It can be an article we have read that answers a question posed by a decision we have to make.
Finally, for some God is in the presence of God's people who appear to us at just the right time. They are the moral examples of what it means to live a moral life; a life of selflessness and love. In their example is God. For Christians that comes in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
One way or another we are apt to experience the presence of God. Which is the most likely for you? If you have thoughts on this write me at charlesschuster@fcfumc.net. If you are willing to allow the readers of this blog read your thoughts click on the 'comments' box below.
