God-Soaked World*

By Lydia Royce

God-Soaked World*

We live in a God-soaked world

A world that exists

In Him

Through Him

And

By Him

We live in a God-soaked space

Where He is,

He was,

And

He will be.

We hold our questions of life

Of suffering,

Of pain,

Of treachery,

Betrayals and deception,

In this God-soaked world.

We hold them before Him.

We hold our angers,

Our incredulties,

Over the extent of wicked words,

Evil deeds,

We hear and see

In the best humans

In our God-soaked world.

We hold these before Him.

We live in a God-soaked world

We exist in Him,

Through Him,

And

By Him.

We hold our questions,

Our angers,

Our incredulities,

And our pain

With – Him

In this God-soaked world.

We are held.

Acts 17:28 For in Him, we live and move and have our being. (Bible)

* I first read this idea in Dallas Willard’s book Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering our Hidden Life in God where he writes about our world as God-immersed and God-bathed. On similar lines, Chris Webb has written a life-giving book titled God-Soaked Life: Discovering a Kingdom Spirituality. I recommend both the books.
