Tell us of God.

Look at the lilies of the field. Watch the birds of the air.

Show us what God is like.

Once there were women kneading yeast into their bread.

We want to know about God.

There were these workers, see, who were lining up for their pay at the end of the day, and some had worked all day while others had been there only an hour.

What does God want from us?

Once upon a time, there was a businessman who had been dishonest with his boss and was about to lose his job, so he called in all of his master’s debtors.

We want to see God.

Pay attention to the sparrow that falls to the ground.

When people ask to know more about God, the Son of God answers by telling them to pay attention to the world all around.

There is nothing that is separate from God. Nothing that can be deemed secular. Nothing of which could be said, That has nothing to do with Him.

We can learn as much about God by paying attention to the world around us as we can by reading Scripture.

The Holy Spirit within us whispers that both are created by the Word and speak of the Father.

Pay attention!

Scripture speaks of truth and truth is what happens in our world.

Even when what happens is not right and good, it speaks of God.

People can learn as much about the ways of God from business deals gone bad or sparrows falling to the ground as they can from…knowing the Ten Commandments by heart. ~ Barbara Brown Taylor in An Altar in the World

What happens in our world is truth and Jesus is truth and if we want to know God we only have to look around to see Him.

Pay attention.
