Bible Comments

Is not God in the height of heaven?

God brought near

Is there anything that can make God a present God? Bring Him from the height of heaven beyond the stars into conscious contact with the experience of daily life? There is. What? Philosophic reasoning. Correct reasoning on the subject must indeed convince man that if there be a God, He must be everywhere, and, therefore, ever at hand. But men may reach this conclusion, and yet practically regard their God as distant. Will natural science do it? True natural science must connect God with everything. Will scriptural theology do it? (Homilist.)

Job 22:12-13

12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars,c how high they are!

13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
