GOD

 Colloquium cum Deo Altissimo

(Conversations with The Most High God)

- by D. Aubrey Crawford

Before there was space, matter, and continuum, there was You.  In my finite understanding, You were I Am, You are I Am, and You will always be I AM. (Inhalation, exhalation) YHWH.  I can say the words, but full comprehension is beyond me: perfect tri-unity,  Three distinct Persons in One: Father, Son, Holy Spirit.  Originator, Activator, Motivator.  I Am, I Do, I Will, or any sequence thereof, humans identify you as El Shaddai, Adonai, El Elyon, The Most High, YHWH of the Elohim, to all creation.  

All I can begin to comprehend is that in the beginning, in Your Tri-unity, and possibly with angels witnessing, You created the heavens and the earth.  All I know of the heavens is what I can see in the sky, and that is Your Tabernacle, Your temporary throne room, like a cosmic tent.  All I know of earth is that it is a speck of sand in oceans of space, the heavens above the sky, and it is little more than Your footstool.  You are the creative Source, the Generator of this immense idea, the universe, stars, planets, galaxies, solar systems, nebulas, black holes, comets, worlds within worlds.  And in the obscure far-reaches of all it is a little blue marbled speck on which You created humankind.

From what You have made and where You have made it I think You have a fondness for obscurity and meniality.  You love making grandness from the very least likely sources.   We seem to be hanging precariously on nothing in space, our earth, spinning continuously on axis, while hurtling wildly around our star, the sun, which is caught in the current of galaxial forces whipping around the galaxy’s center at an unfathomable break-neck speed.  There is a profound danger and wildness about it all.  But it is all directed by You, like safe danger, but maybe not so safe.  You like wildness, perhaps, because You are untamable.  In a way, it resembles human life: you can’t know anything about it until you live it: the essence of experience.  Whether it is ordered chaos or chaotic order, it is amazing, awesome, perfect, deeply beautiful, and hauntingly exhilarating!

Under it, above it, through it all, holding it all in its perfect place is Your unseen power, Your Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence.  Every particle I am made of, every particle of space dust in every sector of its vastness, You hold in place, sustain, perpetuate, and direct according to Your will.  The Most High God.  El-Elyon.  YaHWeH.  Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
