People have always looked up into the skies when
the appearance of lightning, with the sound of
thunder, reverberates in the human soul.
Almighty God's Theocratic Presence is a Timeless,
Uncreated, Unlimited Omniscience and Omnipresent
Omnipotence watching over the existential trauma
of the immoral and frail human race.
The book of Job reveals thunder as the voice of our
Almighty God; in the skies, to the skies, and from
the skies we witness the magnificence of His
Aerospace Presence.
But unappreciative fleshly dullness mocks a
recognition of Almighty God's operational power,
in denial of Israeli Revelation given by the Divine,
Hebrew, Apocalyptic, Benevolent Judeo-Christian
Spirit leading us from ignorance and sinfulness to
an intelligent spiritual mode of ascent.
We tend to be startled and intimidated to see and
hear a Power unleashed in a chaotic display of
energy from the sky. But Our Omniscient Creator
and Protective Father has made certain to link this
impersonal display of Aerial Presence with select
human beings made intelligent, the few who
become receptive to the Spirit, the sanctifying Holy
Spirit that is forever Alive, Who lives and moves in
all creation.
Receptivity to the Spirit is cultivated in a mind and
heart that has made behavioral choices commanded
by God, guiding our consciences to the wisdom of
proverbial discipline, civilized productivity, and a
mode of ethics made perfect by age and maturation.
In the biography of Sophie Scholl, in the motion
picture, anti-Nazi activist Sophie repeatedly looks up
into the Light, praying to her God and Father, just
before her barbaric and senseless decapitation by
the dehumanized Nazis in 1943.
The yearning to see and ascend to God's Higher
Presence is given to prayerful saints who choose to
agonize about humankind's sinfulness; those who
walk with God are within the domain of the Spirit's
internalized Light, while virtually obsessed with the
plight of suffering humanity.
The intense yearning to ascend is never experienced
by terminable homosapien animals who are simply
immersed in passionate, indiscreet consumption,
gratifying the corruptible needs of a desperate and
banal egocentricity.
God maintains the momentum of history set in
motion by a Design that gives an unclean, mundane,
irrational human animal the opportunity to look up
and converse with the Sovereign Lord of the
Universe, and through the process of sanctification
become healthy, rational, immortal Children of God.
AMEN.
