Then Moses said,
"Now show me your glory." And the LORD said, "I will cause all My
goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim My name, the LORD, in
your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have
compassion on whom I will have compassion. But," He said, "you cannot
see My face, for no one may see Me and live." (Exodus 33:18-20 NIV)
The ordinary, natural world contains the supernatural, a
necessary step since we do not have the capacity to apprehend God
directly. We see God best in the same
way we see a solar eclipse: not by staring at the sun, which would cause blindness,
but through something on which the sun is projected.
-- Philip Yancey in “Rumors
of Another World”
