For a number of years, we have been part of a small group that studies together and discusses our faith and what that means to us. Through this process, my concept of faith has been expanded in so many ways. Sometimes it’s a little scary to realize that we are part of the cosmos and not just our planet which can make one feel very small and insignificant. Yet we learn that we are all an important part of the interconnectedness of that cosmos in such a way that our actions can impact every other component. God/Creator/Spirit is in every part of the cosmos and in us to maintain that connectedness - if we are open to recognizing it. God is described as Word, Wind, Breath, Love - all the ways that we live and experience being human.
What does that mean for how we perceive God/Creator/Spirit? The Psalm for today in the language of The Message (34:2, 8) says: “I live and breathe God; if things aren’t going well, hear this and be happy... Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see - how good God is.”
Be open to God with all your senses! The Creator is part of all that we are - and the cosmos. We are interconnected within and through the Spirit.
