You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
Job 36:30
30 Behold, he spreadeth [paras] his light ['owr] upon it,
and covereth [kacah] the bottom [sheresh] of the sea [yam]. KJV-Interlinear
30 'Behold, He spreads His
lightning about Him, And He covers the depths of the sea. NASB
God is omnipresent.
Note quickly how Elihu is describing several of the characteristics of
God.
Elihu describes the highest of places and the lowest
of places. God is in both
simultaneously.
In the heights of the clouds, with but a single flash
of lightning, He illuminates the heavens, even in the night time.
If you have ever seen a night lightning storm, the
visual effects can be awesome. You get
quick snippets of cloud formations, silhouettes, and snapshot images of motion
from wind and trees and such.
And such is life.
With every single day of your life, you have snapshots of Gods
presence. Many, you may not see, but
occasionally you will see something that catches your eye, if even for a single
moment. That image is printed into your
thoughts and may help guide you back to doctrine.
Likewise, God can be found in the depths of the
oceans, where there is virtually no light whatsoever. But even at the bottom of the sea, Gods
presence is felt.
No doubt, Elihu has heard stories from sailors, fishermen,
divers of pearls, and such, who have seen the darkness's perhaps at night, in
their sea experiences.
And while there is virtually no light, Gods presence
is still there.
God is everywhere.
Gods presence can be witnessed everywhere. God is everywhere simultaneously. There is nowhere that God is not. Therefore, all of creation, all of life,
every one of you, has potential access to God at every moment throughout your
life.
The only thing preventing you is, you.
What you think is what you are. And what you think, determines the level of
access you will enjoy, or miss out on, with God.
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
