God's presence in creation

Psalm 104 Praise of God the Creator Bless the Lord, O my soul.     O Lord my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty,     wrapped in light as with a garment. You stretch out the heavens like a tent,     you set the beams of your chambers on the waters, you make the clouds your chariot,     you ride on the wings of the wind, you make the winds your messengers,     fire and flame your ministers. You set the earth on its foundations,     so that it shall never be shaken. You cover it with the deep as with a garment;     the waters stood above the mountains.

God's Presence in Neighbors

God's presence in this world is a promise from God Himself as Jesus Christ assured his appostles that he will be with them to end of the earth. God's presence is intertwined, interclated, and mingled in every thing in the world from nature to the human being and in all creations. St. Fancis of Assisi and St. Antony appreciated God's presence in nature. They preached to the human through words and their life role model and they also preached to the nature including animals when human were sturborn to listen. In bibilical account we can see numerous incidence where God' s presence was eminently and explicitly revealed through nature. In the desert, Moses and the Isrealites were lead by the clouds and even the red sea divided and made path for their escape from Egypt.Prophet Elijah was nourished by the help of a raven in the wilderness. Hungry lion refused to eat Daniel in the den. Likewise nature reveals God's goodness and presence all the time. In the sameway, God
