Divine Reflections in Times and Seasons

Divine Reflections in Times and Seasons explores how everyday phenomena mirror spiritual realities. Readers are encouraged to take a fresh and deep look at the world around them -- to gaze at the glory of a sunrise, the unfolding leaves in the spring, and the starry heavens, for example, and to contemplate the spiritual insights they may receive. The unfathomable reality and divine purpose is far larger than our minds can surmise. But perhaps it can be imagined as a giant holograph wherein each part contains the whole. No matter into how many parts a holograph is subdivided, the same picture remains. After a great many cuts in half, the holograph begins to get a little fuzzy, as it loses some of its detail, but the entire picture is still there. The chapters in this book therefore take a deeper look at various everyday aspects of physical realities to see what can be glimpsed of the total picture. The book then draws from what we see, based on the Bible, lessons for physical and spiritual life. Readers are invited to come and read both the Book of God (nature) and the Word of God (the Bible) to see what treasures may be found there as far as God's character and the divine plan for humanity. Try to break away and spend some time in nature - noticing the sun rays on trees and flowers, the unfolding of new leaves, the variety of creatures of different shapes and sizes that cross your path. Take a fresh look at the sea and the dry land, the birds and the bees, the sky and clouds, as well as the starry heavens. May such a new look at things we take for granted bring us to a sense of wonder, awe, and gratitude at the marvels around us. May we come to recognize the sacred and divine in all things and begin to feel at one with God and all of creation.
