Can Mother Nature Answer Your Prayers?
Isn’t mother nature wonderful? No. Mother nature doesn’t exist. She is a figment of mankind’s overheated imagination. God is everywhere, but God is not everything. This is his TRANSCENDENCE, a second aspect of his omnipresence along with his IMMENSITY.
Belief in mother nature is pantheism revived in the New Age movement and in the popularity of many Eastern religious concepts. God is present everywhere but distinct from everything. This is a peculiarity of his omnipresence. He created time but he is outside of time. He created men and women but has no arms or legs. God created metals but he is not metallic. God created water but he 
is not wet.
As the great Puritan, Thomas Watson wrote; “Though God is in all places, in the heart of a sinner by his inspection, and in hell by his justice, yet he does not mingle with the impurity, or receive the least tincture of evil. No more than the sun shining on a dunghill is defiled, or its beauty spotted; or than Christ going among sinners was defiled.” This is God’s TRANSCENDENCE–how God is distinct from all things that he created.
Unfortunately, belief in pantheism is widespread. Because pantheists believe God is everything, strict Hindus worship cows and refuse to kill rats and insects. 
It is what is behind the liberal idea of a divine spark within us. “I see God’s light as being life itself. It is the divine spark that lives within me and lights up my life. I give thanks for the constant shining of the light of God, the light which can never be put out.” (From a Toronto Star ad by the School of Unity) We were created in the image of God, but we are not a part of God.
Salvation is receiving Christ as Saviour to live within us. We invite the Holy Spirit to live within us. But we are not part of God. Christ is distinct. The Holy Spirit is distinct—not part of us.
Belief in pantheism is why the World Wildlife fund declared, “You are an eagle soaring high, a giant sequoia in California, a Beluga whale, a butterfly. . . No difference between us and them …” Well, no.
Of course, belief in pantheism along with belief in evolution destroys moral distinctions between right and wrong. Whatever is, is okay? No, in spite of what 
Yun Men, Zen Master has said; “If you want to get the plain truth, be not concerned with right or wrong. Conflict between right and wrong is the sickness of the mind.” “Christian Science, which is neither Christian nor scientific, would agree. Do we see why our cultures have degenerated?
In the next post I’ll consider the third aspect of God’s omnipresence. In the meantime, let us worship and draw comfort from the Real God who is with us. If he was not transcendent, we could not pray to him.

Where Is God When I Need Him?
What does a two-year-old boy need to know about God when he’s in a dark room and afraid that there’s a boogey man under the bed? What does a man who faces serious surgery need to know about God? What does a convert to Christ surrounded by machete-wielding Muslims need to know about God?
They need to know that God is with them—ANYWHERE, EVERYWHERE. As Jesus said, “Lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the age” (Matt28:20).
David in Psalm 139 meditated on God and realized that God knew everything about him, including his thoughts. He is omniscient. In his mind he attempted to flee from this convicting presence of God but concluded; “You hem me in behind 
and before;…Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me…”(Psalm 139:5, 7-9). God is everywhere.
In considering God’s omnipresence, we first need to meditate on his IMMENSITY. God told Jeremiah, “Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord? Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the 
Lord” (Jer. 23:23,24, KJV). At the dedication of the temple Solomon prayed; “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house that I have builded? (1 Kings 8:27, KJV).
If we could search to the end of the universe we would find no end to God. The universe exists in him. His immensity is infinite. None of us can escape his presence. In fact, In Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28). We have no existence apart from him whose power through Jesus Christ keeps our atoms and components from flying apart. (See Col. 1:17).
The omnipresence of God has at least three facets; immensity, transcendence, and immanence. We’ll consider these in separate blogs. Each of these amazing 
qualities of the LORD has very practical applications to all who live on earth.
The reality of God’s immensity, to an unbeliever who accepts this truth, is a terrible truth. There is nowhere to flee from God’s all-seeing presence. To a believer it is a reality of marvelous comfort. If you are a disciple of Christ, take comfort today. He is with you to bless you.

Disguising Christmas – Hiding History
I’ve always loved Christmas. The carols. The Christmas trees. The lights. The manger scenes. Christmas Eve services in a candle-lit church. The whole extended family gathering around a table groaning with turkey and all the fixins. Laughter and old stories. But this is the Covid-19 year and we’ve got social distancing and masks. No family hugs. No visits from our family in Mississauga. Certainly, none from Atlanta. Sigh.
The isolation has given us all more time to think about what is important in our lives. Family is way up there. So are friends, which is one reason we always look 
forward to Christmas cards and greetings. It has also heightened the important of basic values; democratic values, moral values of integrity, compassion and, dare I say it, faith in Jesus, the Christmas One. He actually came to re-acquaint us with the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.
This Covid year has also seen the promotion of various causes. We’ve been reminded of the cruel details of slavery and residential schools. The media have made acts of injustice that represent failures of our vaunted liberal democracies hard to ignore. We must do all we can to ensure they are not repeated.
But here is a strange thing. We seem content to disguise the real cornerstones of western civilization beneath frivolous symbols.
Christmas is a case in point. Instead of heralding far and near the birth of the most astonishing person history has ever seen, we allow Santa Claus and his Elves to smother the celebration. The journey to Bethlehem is forgotten beneath the blaring of Ho, Ho, Ho’s, dreams of a white Christmas, and a whole rinky-dink plethora of substitutes. It’s Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, the Grinch and Frosty, the snowman. Christmas trees, yes; creches, no—too religious.
Christmas is not alone in this drive to hide religious symbols and secularize. There’s St. Patrick’s day disguised beneath shamrocks and green beer instead of celebrating an amazing missionary figure who led to the transformation of Ireland.
Instead of Easter heralding the resurrection, we have Easter eggs and bunnies.
Reformation Sunday is completely ignored in spite of the fact that this revolution prepared most of the western world for democracy with its emphasis on the dignity and freedom of the individual. It was the reformation that lay the groundwork for abolishing the divine right of kings and establishing the sovereignty of the individual.
Sour grapes? I am not espousing a series of joyless celebrations. Kids deserve lots of fun, times to dress-up, eat candy and receive presents. But as Santayana has said, “He who fails to learn from history is doomed to repeat it.” Sadly, we can see the signs of this failure all around us. The more we disguise or ignore the real sources of our belief in the dignity, moral responsibility and freedom of the individual the more quickly will we see our civilization deteriorate.
Something important to ponder besides masks, hand-washing and social distancing.

Where is the God of Justice?
A woman is killed by a drunken diplomat who flees so he cannot be prosecuted. A poor tenant farmer in Pakistan is cheated from his share of the crop by his landlord. “The whole of recorded history is one great longing for justice.” (Rushdoony) Atheists deny the existence of God by pointing to the apparent lack of justice in the world. They are not alone. Biblical prophets lamented the lack of justice, but without disbelieving in God. The martyrs under the throne of God cry out, “How long?”
Habakkuk complained to God, “Justice never prevails” (Hab. 1:4). Malachi wrote, “Where is the God of justice?” (Mal. 2:17). In Psalm 73, Asaph wrote about how his heart was grieved and embittered by the arrogance of the wicked who plan evil and scoff at heaven. “My feet had almost slipped…when I saw the prosperity of the wicked” (Psalm 73:1,2).
Asaph found an answer to his cry for justice in understanding that the wicked live in a slippery place. There is a cosmic moral law of cause and effect. “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal. 6:7). The
very first Psalm declares, “The wicked are…like chaff that the wind blows away”.
In Psalm 73 Asaph saw the terrible end of the unrepentant wicked. They face everlasting fire in hell. “The wicked shall be turned into hell. All the nations that forget God” (Ps. 9:17 KJV). A cursory look at history reveals that justice delayed in not justice denied. Think of the judgement of Sodom and the whole earth during the Flood. As prophesied, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome all perished in terrible judgement. Think of Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Papa Doc Duvalier, and on and on to this day. The fall of cruel and proud men is terrible. No one will escape the justice of God!
Not everyone reaps in this life the evil they sow. 1 Tim. 5:24 explains: “the sins of some men are obvious, reaching the place of judgement ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them”.…only to be revealed in the final judgement.
Still, we may cry out, “Why Lord do you delay your justice?” Let us learn from Asaph. After crying out to God about the prosperity of the unjust, he realized that he had missed the first step in dealing with injustice. A search for justice must begin in our own hearts.
He cried, “when my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant” (Ps. 73:21,22). He came to understand that he had failed to keep his heart pure and free from bitterness, anger and self-righteousness. Jesus taught, “Blessed are the poor in spirit…the pure in heart.” Instead of being self-righteous we need to realize that “there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not” (Eccl. 7:20, KJV). That includes us.
After confessing his bitterness, Asaph remembered what he had forgotten. Although a victim of injustice, he had forgotten that, “I am always with you: you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing
I desire besides you…God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” (Ps 73:23-26). The only way to live in an unjust world is to walk daily in fellowship with God. And to remember that if we have found mercy at the cross, Jesus walks with us and will never leave us. That is why he came at Christmas.
If we are to walk with God, we must understand God’s treatment of the unjust. We must remember that justice delayed is not justice denied. Delay reveals the weeping heart of God who longs to hear the repentance of the wicked in order to offer them mercy. This was Jonah’s complaint with God. He didn’t want to go to Nineveh of offer mercy, so he fled. But when he did preach in Nineveh and they repented, Jonah was angry. Why? He wanted Nineveh destroyed. He complained to God, “I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abounding in love, a God who relents from sending calamity” (Jonah 4:2).
Clearly, like Jonah, we need a heart change toward the unsaved even those especially unjust. In Romans 2:4-6 Paul warns people to not ignore or despise God’s patient kindness and tolerance.
Sigh. So many of our problems with life are due to our impatience. God is a holy and just God. But he is also merciful and longsuffering. We need to trust him. He alone knows the Day of Judgement.

The Most Beautiful Thing in the Universe
In the Peanuts comic strip, Chuck is asked by his little sister; “Do you think I’m beautiful Chuck? Chuck answers; “Absolutely, you have an inner beauty that is . . . “Not inner beauty Chuck! I’m not talking about inner beauty . . . I’m talking about outer beauty! Do you think I’m beautiful Chuck?” Chuck : “I’ve always thought you had a cute way about you…you know, your expressions, your… “Did I ask you if I’m cute Chuck? I don’t think I did…I asked you. Do you think I’m beautiful?” Chuck: “I just remembered there’s some golf on TV now!” “My nose reminded you of a gold ball, huh, Chuck? Was that it, Chuck!?” Dejected, Chuck realizes he’s scored another D Minus.
What is beautiful? Is there a standard for beauty? Is it a slender woman or a muscled man? Is it defined by blonde hair, or red, or raven; blue eyes or brown? Once I spent almost an hour staring up at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. But in his being, God is so much more astounding than Michelangelo’s art. The most beautiful thing in all the universe is the holiness of God.
In our meditations on the attributes of God, we come to his holiness which is 
describes in the Bible as being beautiful, glorious, full of splendour. “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness” (Psalm 96:9 KJV See also 1 Chron. 16:29). After Israel’s deliverance through the Red Sea, Moses and Miriam sang a song; “Who among the gods is like you O LORD? Who is like you–majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders.” (Read Ex. 11).
Paul takes up the theme of God’s SOLITARY GRANDEUR in 1 Tim 6:15, 16; “God is the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen nor can see. To him be honor and might forever.”
What does light have to do with the holiness of God? We take light for granted, unless we have totally lost our sight. But without light there is no beauty, for light provides contrast, shading, and perspective. Perhaps this gives us some sense of the splendour of God who “lives in unapproachable light”.
Light is a mystery. It travels at 186,000 miles per second. Fiber optics makes use of the superiority of light over electrical impulses to transmit information. Scientists continue to delve into its mysteries. But only God understands light for “God is the Father of lights with whom is no variableness neither shadow cast by turning” (James 1:17). All the great visions of God found 
in, for example, Ezekiel or Revelation speak of him encompassed by astounding displays of light.
The Scriptures connect the glorious brilliance emitted by God with his moral holiness. Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up with his glory filling the temple. And the seraphs cried, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory” (Isaiah 6:3). At this sight Isaiah fell before the LORD crying, “I am ruined,” as God’s glory illuminated his sinfulness just as bright beams of light reveal dirt on our faces.
In another strange twist, we discover that the Hebrew word for holiness doesn’t specifically denote moral perfection but to cut. That is, God is cut off from all of 
his creation in the sense that he is utterly separate. He is the Standard by which all others are to be measured—but fall short. To illustrate this God had Israel create a tabernacle with a holy of holies that separated him from all people except the high priest who could come into his presence once a year with a blood sacrifice.
If we want to be beautiful people, we will obey God’s directives expressed in the ten commandments and in all God’s laws. Adherence to these standards serve to create beautiful societies and individuals. God’s laws are a reflection of his own moral perfection as expressed in his will for his creatures. John writes, “This is the message that we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; In him there is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5). In this passage we are urged to “walk in the light,” to reject walking in darkness which is a metaphor for living a sinful life.
People who live as if there is no God live with strange paradoxes. They enjoy God’s light displays in sun, moon and stars, in rainbows and all the colours of creation. At the same time, they love dark deeds of every kind and view holiness 
and purity as unattractive and boring. How misled!
The holiness of God is a rich and beautiful concept. It refers to his majestic otherness—there is nothing like him; his glorious beauty and his moral perfection. Lord help us react as John urges; “If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves…if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins…[through] the blood of Jesus, his Son” (1 John 1:7-9)
Becoming beautiful people begins by putting our faith in Jesus Christ who died to make us spiritually pure and holy–and really, really beautiful.

Where should we go when puzzled?
Are you as puzzled by life? At present, Mary Helen and I face three or four directions we can go with various health issues. But which one is best? We don’t have either the knowledge or the wisdom to know. James explains what we should do, besides [image error]asking health professionals; “If any of you lack wisdom, he should ask God” (James 1:5). That makes sense because God’s knowledge and wisdom are infinite.
He knows the distant reaches of space and each star by name. He knows every square inch of the 64 million square miles of the Pacific Ocean including what is 36, 198 feet down in its deepest place off Guam. He knows every creature and, “He knows the secrets of the heart” (Psalm 44:21). There is nothing he doesn’t know. But having knowledge and knowing how to [image error]use it is different. The latter requires skill and wisdom which God has in measureless supply.
It’s not as if God went to some cosmic university and got a XYZ++ degree. He is the origin of all true knowledge. Indeed, we read of the Son of God that, in him “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Col. 2:3). “Many of us have degrees but not the wisdom to use our knowledge wisely for the flourishing of mankind and the stability of the planet. God’s knowledge on the other hand is always effectual, active, productive and good.
We read, “By wisdom you made the heavens” (Ps. 136:5; Jer. 51:15). God’s wisdom is not a mere idea but the combining of his knowledge of all that can be with his almighty ability to make what he conceives to be exist. “Wisdom and might are his” (Daniel 2:20). “In wisdom you have made them all” (Ps.l04:24). All means all.
Consider the formation of a human embryo. God saw it in concept and in every [image error]intimate detail. God planned its development. He created it in utero including all the processes by which it is born and grows into a human being. No wonder abortion is so horrific. It is an attack on God and another example of the ethical depravity and stupidity of sinful mankind.
Or consider the creation of the sexes. “So God created man in his own image,…male and female he created them” (Gen. 1:27). Two sexes, both glorious, gifted image-bearers of God. Not transgendered individuals or any other kind of LBGTQ idea. Two sexes, created diverse through the wisdom of God. Is it any wonder that society is in chaos? Lord help us to bow to your wisdom and walk in obedience to your will.

The Greatest Mystery in the Universe
Life is full of mysteries. Bumblebees that fly when it seems aerodynamically impossible. Bats that navigate at night. Monarch butterflies that return to a specific location in Mexico. Hummingbirds that fly across the Gulf of Mexico. Black holes in sp[image error]ace. But the greatest mystery of all is God, the creator of all these lesser mysteries. The greatest minds have sought to find God but failed.
Why? Zophar spoke to Job saying…”Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection? …The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea” (Job 11:7,9 KJV). God is unsearchable. Although the universe if full of his presence yet we can never trace him to the source of his essence nor measure his width, height or length.
[image error]Why is God not found by scientific search? As we read in 1 Tim. 6:16; He is the one—”who only hath immortality, dwelling in light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be glory and power everlasting”. We love things we can see; sunsets and roast turkey and flowers. But we can’t see God because he is invisible. We love things we can touch; a loved one we can hug, a computer keyboard, a ripe peach. But we can’t touch God because he is immaterial.
God is beyond all the laws that he created and thus beyond the search of the scientific method. Beyond matter and mass. Beyond space and time. Beyond change and decay. What then? Clearly, if he is to be known, he must make himself known to us.
Fortunately, God took the initiative and revealed himself to mankind. “In the [image error]past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways. But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son” (Hebrews 1;1,2). Through the guiding hand of God’s Spirit, all he has revealed has been recorded in the Scriptures. How can we know God? Search the Scriptures. Start with John’s gospel. But first, receive Jesus Christ as Saviour, for through him we come to know God.
How do we receive Christ as Saviour? First, we acknowledge our need of a Savior. We confess our sins, repent of them and ask Him for forgiveness. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “Unless you repent, you too will all perish”(Luke 13:3). Second, we accept with faith the fact that Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty our sins deserve. He died to save us from our sins. “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor. 15:3). Third, we pray and ask him to come into our hearts to remake it into a heart that loves and serves Him. “You must be born again” (John 3:7). “To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God…Children born of God” (John 1:12,13). As newborn children of God we rejoice in our salvation and commit ourselves to God’s service as we grow in prayer and Scripture reading.

Finding Stability in an Unstable World
In the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi contrasts the instability and unfaithfulness of Israel with the unchanging nature of God. “I the LORD do not change. So you O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed” (Malachi 3:6). The condition of Israel at that time reflects the condition of our societies today. Glorifying adultery. Shading the truth in business. Defrauding labourers of a fair [image error]wage. Oppressing the weak. The result is social instability and delayed justice in courts. Sin always creates chaos, which is Satan’s goal. “The wicked! They are like the chaff that the wind blows away” (Psalm 1:4).
What is the root cause of corruption and instability? Lack of respect for the infinite, eternal, unchangeable and gracious God. John Bunyan in Pilgrim’s Progress wrote: “Though there is not always grace where there is fear of hell, yet, to be sure, there is no grace where there is no fear of God. For the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither the middle nor the end.”
[image error]But fortunately, “Every good and perfect gift is from above from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows” (James 1:17). God’s anger is unhurried as he waits for us to repent of our sins and receive his gracious gift of forgiveness through Jesus Christ.
O Lord! my heart is sick,
Sick of this everlasting change;
And life runs tediously quick
Through its unresting race and varied range:
Change finds no likeness to itself in Thee,
And echo in Thy mute Eternity. (Fredrick Faber)

Living Joyfully with the Eternal God
Our lives have always been in flux. That’s life. But Covid-19 has thrown them into more uncertainty than ever. Where can we find stability? Deut. 33:27 declares, “The eternal God is our dwelling place and underneath are the everlasting arms.” Or as Moses writes, “LORD, you have been our dwelling [image error]place throughout all generations” (Psalm 90:1).
What a difference to dwell in everlasting connection with the Changeless One! Moses goes on to contrast our transient existence with God’s eternal nature. Our lives are as unstable as dust, as transient as grass, and troubled by anxiety brought on by our sins. BUT if God is our dwelling place then we are at home with the one who is from everlasting to everlasting and for whom a thousand years is like a day. In the light of God’s eternal changeless love and holiness, Moses advises us to number our days to gain wisdom (vs. 12) and to ask God to, “satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days” (vs. 14). It is only by receiving the love Jesus demonstrated on the cross that we can come home to rest in God’s eternal arms. Is the eternal God your dwelling place and mine?
[image error]
Why is there so much social and family instability? John Bunyan, of Pilgrim’s Progress wrote;
“No fears, no grace. Though there is not always grace where there is fear of hell, yet, to be sure, there is no grace where there is no fear of God. For the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither the middle nor the end.” Quoted in AW Tozer, Renewal Day by Day.
[image error]So as time rolls on like an everlasting stream, let us find grace in the arms of the eternal one. Each day is important in our lives so let us number each day so we can live it with a heart of wisdom that comes from the eternal God. Lord, remind us in the morning of your unfailing love, let us be glad in your grace as our day continues and help us to end the day in praise.

Finding Help from the Almighty Problem-solver
In concluding chapter 40 Isaiah declares that “He gives strength to the weary…even youths grow tired and weary…but those who hope in the LORD will RENEW their strength. They will soar like eagles…run…walk and not faint” (Is. 40:29-31). God is infinite in all His qualities including His ability to strengthen and help us in our needs.
Studies in the attributes of God are very helpful for those who by faith in Jesus Christ are God’s children. They are practical. They remind us about all the wonderful aspects of our heavenly Father’s character. And they remind us to bring our problems, our fears, our pain, our difficulties to Him. He loves to hear the prayers of His children. So let’s rejoice in the infinite ability of our God to help us.
