Life is intriguing and Hashem’s magnificent presence can be felt on every level; from the bird flying to the sun rising. Those who deny Hashem’s existence can use their free will to live without feeling His presence; however those who seek truth and use their intellectual honesty will undoubtedly find Him.
When the Russians sent man to space he professed that he did not ‘find’ G-d; confirming the belief there is no creator. When the Americans sent Apollo 8 the astronauts were in awe over what they saw and quote what they said, “In the beginning G-d created…” The stark difference in their observation was due to one awaiting the chance to confirm their suspicion of there being no G-d and the other seeing an opportunity to recognize the hand of G-d. It all depends on one’s agenda from the get-go; wanting to see or deny.
Our soul knows what the body cannot sense – all of creation is from Hashem and designed to the ‘T’. “Ma Rabu Ma’asecha Hashem kulam b’Chochmah Asita: How abundant are Your works Hashem with wisdom You made them all” writes Dovid HaMelech in Tehillim (104:24). Dovid HaMelech reflected on life on earth and acknowledged the awesome vastness of the sea, the remarkable wisdom of the human body and the grandeur of planet earth.
