Greetings in Christ our Wonderful Counselor and Savior,
I have thought for some time and this morning became enraptured before God's Throne with the idea that in God alone lies the property of self-existence. Am I correct Biblically that this is the truth? That every soul of man, yea, every molecule in all the universe is maintained in its very being moment by moment solely by the almighty and incomprehensible will and power of God? I think so. What is the answer?
As I meditate on the omnipresence of God, sometimes in the context of my sins of practical atheism, I often reflect on and quote the question below from Fisher's Catechism on God's omnipresence and power even in hell and that forever.
Have a blessed Lord His Day,
Ed
