IN TIMES OF CRISIS

He continues his journey seeking and passing by all creation till he reaches the Creator himself. A believer is one who acknowledges that everything is from God. Seeing that he has no power in this world, he looks to God for help and protection. The beauty of this world serves to remind him of God’s beauty; the greatness of natural phenomena impresses on him the greatness of the One who created them. So absorbed is he in the glory of God that he loves nothing more than to spend his time in pure thoughts and actions. To believe in God is to see the invisible force behind visible objects. This requires special vision, enabling one to penetrate superficial forms and perceive the reality of all things. One endowed with such vision sees God everywhere; he looks only to God as great. He submits entirely to God, and trusts in Him alone. So engrossed in God’s overpowering greatness does he become that all worldly things fade into insignificance in his sight. o A believer is one who acknowledges that everything is from God.
