The invisible God

We are like fish swimming in a stream. We do what we do while God, like the stream, nudges us where he wills. We are in him [1] [2] [3], and we do not see him.

His work is often so subtle we are unaware of his presence and nudging.

Since we cannot see or hear him [4]; how can he make himself known?

  1. ± Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
  2. ± Pr 16:9 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
  3. ± Ps 37:23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
  4. ± Joh 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
