Closer Than We Think
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights. James 1:17, ESV
Some time ago, my husband and I went to Canada, and we truly enjoyed the accommodations that God blessed us with. We rented a place through Airbnb and the location was on the 12th floor of the building. It was about 2:00am on Sunday morning when I was looking out over the city from our bedroom. The view was phenomenal. The city was lit up in lights. Although most people were sleeping, I could see lights all over the city. I wondered what God was trying to show me. What was the message He wanted me to share with you? I could see the CN tower (The CN Tower is a 553.3 m-high concrete communications and observation tower in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada) from my window and it is lit up with dark blue lights tonight. I learned that each night is a different color represents an event happening in the city. That night, the Toronto Argonauts, a professional Canadian football team, was competing in the East Division of the Canadian Football League.
God said, “Just like you see the lights of the city late at night when everyone should be sleeping, that is exactly how I am. My light is always shining. I am always visible; I am closer to you than you know.” He is in everything - the structure of the buildings, in the lights of the city, in the streets, in all that man has put his hands together to build. It all came from our Father. The weather, the trees, all of it was brought to man by God.
He put the vision in the mind of man and man followed God’s instruction. He reminded me of Noah who built the first boat. He said, “I am still giving man direction. Everything you see in the natural comes from the place of the supernatural where things are truly real.” We have been deceived into believing that what we see is the real thing when actually, what we don’t see is the real thing!
Nothing on this earth can come forth without the activation of what we don’t see! God wants us to know that He is real and everything that is manifested on the face of the earth is from Him. Nothing can be built, designed, or done without the power of the Holy Spirit.
God gave man power so that whatever he puts his mind to, he can accomplish because we are made in the image of our Father (see Genesis 11:1-9). Sometimes it can feel as though we are in this world all alone and God is not here, but He wants us to be encouraged. All we have to do is look out of a window and see Him in everything! Our Father never leaves us or forsakes us. “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6).
