Tozer chpts. 12,13

Please go here if you want to see what I'm writing from.

12) In this chapter there is one paragraph that sticks out to me the most. On page 66, second full paragraph, it tells about one of the differences about the way people say the world In the Bible rather than the way we see it today. While we see natural laws, they saw God's glory. This paragraph hit me, and make me wonder why did things change. At what point did we as a people's lean away from religion, and tried to stand on our own two legs. It makes me sad that we have strayed so far from religion, and have plugged our ears with our own junk.

13) The same question has hit me on page 71 of chapter 13. It starts with what would happen if some watcher or holy one were to come to earth after spending glad sentries by the sea of fire. He would see our daily chatter as meaningless. What happened to the fear of God. The fear of The Perfect One looking at us in all our iniquities. I am very sad to see our world today where we fight over each other meaninglessly. Where we think we are so great that the tiniest thing like being cut off on the road or someone bumping into you just puts you into a rage. Where are we as a people today? I believe we are farther away from God than ever before, but why? The veil keeping us from Him has been torn, we can comet o him freely, but why are we so far off? Why do we no longer see God the way people of old did?

Tozer chapter 11.

On p. 62, middle of top paragraph, it talks about faith. I know this isn't what the chapter was about, but I read this and it struck me. Where it says, "Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith. I have heard similar things several times, and I always feel guilty because I fall into that trap of seeing to believe so many times. It gets really frustrating. It also reminds me that many things of God are not in our own ability to comprehend, so how can we expect those things to be shown to us through only five senses?
