The strong wind tried to blow me off the porch so I moved to the side of the house. Low banks of clouds with the pinkish rays of the sunrise made the snow cap of Pike's Peak look as if it were floating in the air.
There is a solid foundation, but my perception within this morning's conditions made things appear different than what I know to be true.
God is the foundation of reality. He is the solid rock.
Our society embraces certain perspectives and presuppositions that dismiss the reality of God, as if He is a figment of the Church's collective imagination. This influence is very real and causes us to think and act as if the mountain of God is floating up in heaven somewhere. It erodes our faith for tangible expressions of God's interaction in our lives because we act as if 'He's up there and we're down here.'
If you determine to keep walking in the direction of the mountain you will find that it is firmly connected to the everyday 'ground' we walk on. If you have 'clean hands and a pure heart' you can even climb up it.
God is real, whether we can see it or not.
