Tozer on God & Nature
“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
“Without doubt, the mightiest thought the
mind can entertain is the thought of God, and the weightiest word in any
language is its word for God.”
“The fact of God is necessary for the fact of man. Think God away and man has no ground of existence.”
“The created world is to be prized for
its usefulness, loved for its beauty and esteemed as the gift of God to
His children. Love of natural beauty which has been the source of so
much pure music, poetry and art is a good and desirable thing. Though
the unregenerate soul is likely to enjoy nature for its own sake and
ignore the God whose gift it is, there is nothing to prevent an
enlightened Christian who loves God supremely from loving all things for
God’s dear sake.”
~ A.W. Tozer, The Set of The Sail
God knows instantly and effortlessly all matter and all matters, all
mind and every mind, all spirit and all spirits, all being and every
being, all creaturehood and all creatures, every plurality and all
pluralities, all law and every law, all relations, all causes, all
thoughts, all mysteries, all enigmas, all feeling, all desires, every
unuttered secret, all thrones and dominions, all personalities, all
things visible and invisible in heaven and in earth, motion, space,
time, life, death, good, evil, heaven, and hell.”
