Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. -Deuteronomy 4:39, NIV
Before everything was created, He is.
And before everything will be destroyed, He still is.
It doesn't make any sense. How can someone that claims to be everywhere is everywhere? How can someone that claims to be singing over us is, indeed, over us? How can someone claim to know it all, be in all, and face it all with no degree of error? Our humanity is fazed by such condition, and our first impulse is to reject it.
When we find something we either dislike or not understand, there comes two natural reactions: reject it...or ask for proof. The first one is rather easy with life: we can reject everything we want to reject with all of our human candor and shamelessness, but denial only works for so long. Eventually, our defense mechanisms will be futile to reject it anymore —we either have to face it headstrong...or we can try probing and prodding for questions.
When we ask questions, our nature asks the basics: who, what, when, where, and why. Then we make up new ones: how long, how much, how far, wide, strong or challenging will it be. Every curious fiber in our bodies longs to be satisfied (which will never be), and when (and if) it does, it keeps asking for questions. It's like an addiction, an excuse to get out of certain peril.
It was. And it still is. But not with God. He never works that way.
There are no reasons, no excuses. Ask what you want, there will be no definitive answers. There will be no logical proof. What it never makes sense, He gives sense. What our defensiveness makes it gray, He gives it colors and abundance of life. What seems to be aimless, He gives it a new purpose. And there is no rejection nor questions that will stop it.
As stories are being written, He still is.
As life is created, He is there.
As hope still reigns, He is still there.
Even in the worse Hell, He still is there.
