“Pause to think a moment. What has been your ideal of God, the Creator of all these universes and systems of worlds? Is not the thought that has filled the minds of men for ages, that of a God in the form of a man, larger possibly than themselves, seated upon a throne somewhere in the universe, capable of creating and ruling these immense worlds entirely inadequate? Can the Creator be less than his creation? All astronomers and philosophers unite in saying that all things in nature are ruled by law, or God. As the poet Pope has said:
“All are but parts of one stupendous whole, whose body Nature is, and God the soul; that, changed through all, and yet in all the same; Great in the earth, as in the ethereal frame; warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees, lives through all life, extends through all extent, spreads undivided, operates unspent; breathes in our soul, informs our mortal part, as full, as perfect in a hair, as heart: As full, as perfect in vile man that mourns as the rapt seraph that adores and burns: To him no high, no low, no great, no small; He fills, he bounds, connects, and equals all.”
How great, how incomprehensible, even from the point of view of the physical universe, is our God! From the physical point of view, man upon this little globe becomes, as it were, almost annihilated, a mere animalcule on a grain of sand. Yet we know that man is part of the great whole, part of that all-pervading Spirit.
God is Spirit and God is Love, and that Spirit of Love is flooding all these systems of worlds with his light and his love; loving and preserving all his diminutive children: and Yahweh, the Will of the universe, is our God. “In him we live and move and have our being.” With every breath we draw we inhale that divine life, the fire of God’s own supreme nature. As we move through space, the eternal substance of Divinity passes through us as if we were but shadows, and it is only by the regenerate life that we can refine and intensify the currents of our life sufficiently to touch and to know something of the outermost degrees of Divinity.”
