“Why seek ye for Jehovah
‘Mid Sinai’s awful smoke?
The burning bush now shelters
A sparrow’s humble folk;
The curve of God’s sweet heaven
Is the curve of the leaf of oak;
The Voice that stilled the tempest
To the little children spoke,–
The bread of life eternal
Is the bread He blessed and broke.”
We sometimes forget that God has anything to do with the small events of our everyday lives. Men seem to be living a life of their own, without reference to God, without being influenced by him, without receiving help from him. They are not conscious of God. They go on working out their own schemes, following their own judgment, deciding questions for themselves, and seem rarely to become aware that there is any divine interference in their lives.
