Continuing our Creativity & Spirituality series…
Seeing the Divine, takes time.
In Exodus, after wandering the dessert for forty-years, it describes Moses seeing something there he had not ever seen before. He encounters a bush that did not seem to ‘burn up’.
As Moses approaches he discovers God calling out to him from within the bush saying “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground” (Exodus 3:5)
How long had Moses walked through that piece of land, never realizing that it was holy?
Or the better question might be, how long had Moses been staring at that bush to realize that it was not burning up? That it wasn’t some minor forest fire, but that there was something mystical occurring?
In the book of Mark it describes a centurion standing in front of Jesus upon the cross, hearing him cry, and watching him die. After which he comes to the realization that “Surely this man was the son of God!” (Mark 15:39).
The same question applies. How long was the centurion gazing at the cross, before he realized that he was seeing God?
Could it be that God is closer than we think?
If only we took the time to really look?
The Scriptures describe this man named Jacob who after reflecting on a dream and discovers, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” (Genesis 28:17).
In our Creativity & Spirituality gatherings, one of our assignments was to take a digital photo or find a photo of something or somewhere we saw a glimpse God in someway. Here’s a collage of some of what came out of it.
Mine was the ‘tank man’ picture. I see God in the regular Joe that has the courage to stand against oppressive forces in the world.
