I don't have the depth of knowledge of scripture that you do Steven but I do know stories.
What popped in mind was a quote from the movie Before Sunrise:
"I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt."
God exists in the space between moments, people, and words.
I see the blanket of God in the interactions I have with people and the depth of study I do. The more I study the world as an engineer or scientist, the deeper in faith I get.
Because I see the pursuit of science not to disprove the existence of God but to improve our understanding of God's mechanisms.
Like studying how a chef crafts a meal, science provides the recipe for us to better understand God.
I always love watching you connect your film insights to lessons of faith. Thank you for this comment. It's was a force multiplier for this contemplation.
"My desire for God and peace among the earthly things came when I desired his desires for you and me" - Yes! We hear the Lord speak about creating new hearts... It's a reprogramming of our desires. Your reflection reminds me of this simple prayer: Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine.
