Some say you can't see God, but if you look you can see him everywhere!!

As I was reading the other day I came across something I have heard about a million times but never really thought about. That God makes everything, but yet is everything in a sense, not to be confused with the "I am a God " movement. I heard one pastor give a sermon on this for over two hours, explaining how God is the great creator and created everything and works through his creations, but I didn't give much thought to it. After service, I got in my car and started to drive down the highway. I had just put in a praise and worship CD in my player when it started to mess up...yet again ( for anyone who knows my cars sound system, you know how common this is) it would play part of a song and skip to a different part of a totally different song, then skip back to the first song, so on and so forth. The really funny part of it this time was half of the way home, all it would do is skip between two songs and how it patched together was" God is....God is....God iiiiisssss........the car!too funny!, but anyways, what I read. It pointed out how God works through everyone, christian or not, and how our jobs, no matter how small, helps others and does Gods work in a way. for example, one of the ways he protects us is through having police, military, and judicial systems that help people to follow rules and keep us safe. He helps to give us our daily bread by providing farmers, good healthy crops, proper conditions, and stores to distribute the food to cities. Everything is created equally and has an important part in the cycle of life. Another way that God has blessed us is by giving everyone special gifts and by giving us different strong points, rather than being self- sufficiant. For example: ( and please don't takew this as being sexist or anything, its just a generalization) the wife tends to be the more nurturing and caring role in our family structure and the husband is the provider and leader. Our vocations can be helpful to God, even if it isn't really theological!.
