Contemplate What Lies Before you
Carlo Carretto wrote: "Contemplate what lies before you. It is God's way of making himself present." When Jesus commanded us to "consider the lilies of the field," he really meant we should contemplate them - that is, look at them from many angles, touch them, feel them, smell them, sense them and enjoy them. In Job it is written: "Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the
cords of Orion? ... Do you know the laws of heaven?" Have you looked at NASA photographs of the universe and found God reaching out to you through them?
God communicates through visions and dreams,
through angels and nature, through Scripture and
Science, through story and song. In our meditations on
God's presence in and around us, let us look for the joy
we may find by tying together past, present and future
in communication with Him.
