Sunday’s Blessing – 06/14/2026 – He is God!

One of my favorite topics to use in speaking and writing is observable signs of God in creation. Things like noticeable similarity of the spiral of a galaxy being exactly the same as the spiral a conch shell and the pattern of seeds on a sunflower. I do not believe that is coincidence. I call it the fingerprint of God.

There are other things I’ve written about before (blog post titled “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”) like the fact that PI and e (numbers occurring naturally in our world) are irrational, but I have struggled finding a good analogy until now. Last Sunday, my pastor started a new series on “The God Who Is.” As part of this introduction, get gave the following illustration.

In 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin made history by becoming the first human to journey into outer space. He circled earth one time then returned safely. After landing, he spoke at a press conference, declaring, “I have seen the whole earth and I did not see God.”

C. S. Lewis, notable writer and Christian apologist, responded with the following:

Looking for God in space is like Hamlet exploring the attic of the castle trying to find his creator, Shakespeare. The only way Hamlet would ever encounter Shakespeare would be if the author wrote himself into the play.

I love that! Because God did exactly that. He wrote Himself into our story by appearing multiple times and in many ways, as Hebrews 1:1 tells us. But the ultimate revelation of God is when He became a man, Jesus, and lived among us to show us His nature and Character, and to provide a way for us to know Him. This is the reason I started writing many years ago. My first effort was to compile as many “names” for God I could find. The first list was over 200 names or expressions found in scripture which refer to God. That list now stands well over 1000.

If you want to know where to find God, simply inhale. He is closer than the air you breathe and is more real than your next heartbeat.

Today’s blessing:

And he said to him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?” And the LORD said to Moses, “This very thing that you have spoken I will do, for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” 

Moses said, “Please show me your glory.” And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The LORD.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. Exodus 33:15-19 (ESV)
