GOD IS INTELLIGENCE
Good Morning!!!
GOD IS INTELLIGENCE
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
January 15
The fourth main aspect of God is Intelligence.
When you clearly realize that this is an intelligent universe
it will make a major difference in your life.
In an intelligent universe there cannot be disharmony
because all ideas must work together for the common good.
Neither can there be any lack.
An engine that has been intelligently designed
does not have any unnecessary parts
and neither are any essential parts lacking.
It is especially important to realize that God is Intelligence
because it sometimes happens that
when people outgrow the childish Idea
that God is just a magnified man,
they go to the opposite extreme
and think of God as a blind force,
like gravity or electricity.
This means that they have lost
all sense of the Love and Fatherhood of God,
and such an idea is very little better
than a subtle form of atheism.
God is not a person in the usual sense of the word,
but God has every quality of personality except its limitation.
The human mind cannot imagine personality that is not limited,
but this difficulty arises
from the limitation of the human mind itself,
and of course, this does not affect the nature of God.
The Bible says, in effect, whatever you think I am,
that will I be to you; this means
that if we attribute to God every quality
of an infinite, intelligent, loving personality,
God will be just that to us.
So, we may say that we believe in a personal God.
Children and young people respond very readily indeed
to a prayer for expression of Intelligence through them.
If you are interested in a young person at college,
pray several times a week
that Intelligence will manifest through him
and you will be surprised to find
how his progress in his studies will increase.
Remember also the wonderful fact
that when you work for a person
the result will be with him for the rest of his life.
“O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!”
Romans 11:33
