Is there a place one can go to be free from God?
One of my devotions for today is titled A Vacuum of Absence. It spoke about creation and how creation was started by God’s word, but this is not the end of God’s involvement. God spoke the world into being, but God continues to hold everything in balance.
How is it that at the core of an atom protons all come together, while like particles repel each other? The only explanation I need and we can give is God. God holds the world in balance and keeps things running smoothly.
Some will agree with me and others will say I am a religious nut, and say God does not exist. But what would happen if God were not here? What would life be like if God was not holding us in the balance and keeping all creation smoothly moving?
I have not seen it but I hear The Book of Eli portrays this very thing. In this movie, the world has been destroyed and there exists only 1 copy of the Bible. One man looks for it to return it to the people. One man looks for it to us its power to hold down people. The person who told me about the movie said, “it is a look at what the world would be like without God, and it is scary.”
Hell is a separation from God, according to some. Yet Jesus went to Hell (or the dead) and was there. And where did Hell come from? Was it part of creation, and if so then God created it? And if God created it how can God not be in it? Yes it is true that God could/can create something and then devoid himself of it, or leave it. Is Hell our creation of the complete rejection of God reacting in our lives?
My wonder is, is there any where we are free from the presence of God? In our minds, in our creation we separate our selves in our Hell, but is God not with us?
We need to shout it from the mountain tops that God created all of us, and we all our good! We need to be revealing the beauty of God’s presence in every time and every place.
