The Nature of God

In Unity we have a statement "There is one presence and one power in this world and in our lives, God the Good, omnipotent".  That pretty much says it all, doesn't it?  God is everywhere present, all-powerful, and good.  I would add that God is love, wisdom, and intelligence.  You may have noticed that I stated God "is", not God "has" these qualities. God is not a person having intelligence, love, or power; God is the total of all these attributes, whether manifested or unmanifested.  In Acts 17:24 - 25 it states that "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands.  And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else".

H. Emilie Cady says in her book "Lessons in Truth" that He (God) lives within every created thing as the life, the ever-renewing, recreating, upbuilding cause of it.  He never is and never can be for a moment separated from His creations".  Each rock, plant, animal and human is the visible expression of God.  We express God's love when we love another; we express God's wisdom and intelligence when we educate others (or ourselves); we express God's power when we manifest ideas.

We are connected to God every moment of our existence.  In Eric Butterworth's book "Spiritual Economics" he states that "The whole of God is present at every point in space at the same time.  God doesn't come and go.  God doesn't capriciously move substance from God's supply 'up there' to fill your need 'down here'.  God is always present, totally present - as a Presence".  Does it give you comfort that God is always present in our lives wherever we are?  I am comforted knowing that when I'm happy and joyous, God is with me; when I'm experiencing trials and tribulations, God is with me.  I am never alone.

Always remember, as we go through our daily lives, God is with us.  In Zephaniah 3:17 it says "The Lord your God is with you, he is might to save".  God is with us no matter where we are or what kind of day we are having.  We are NEVER alone!
