Most of us are pretty busy doing something. In the human order mortals are engaged in a wide variety of interests. Laziness and inactivity are frowned on; children are educated to express alertness and intelligent activity. But what of God? What is He doing?
In times past ignorant concepts of God have regarded the primal cause as an enlarged man, dwelling aloof, and from an unknown address in the heights of heaven controlling, in some unexplainable way, the affairs of men. An inquisitive child, when told that some people believe God is a large man sitting on a throne high up in the sky, put the pertinent question, "But what holds Him up there?" Climatic conditions and the forces of gravitation are some of the difficulties which seem to have been overlooked by those who would locate the great I AM in an airy estate in the ethereal blue, not to mention the problem of ruling the universe from some point in space.
But a more intelligent concept of God is finding acceptance in the consciousness of men. It is the true idea of God presented by the Bible, and in this age by Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science. Some of the words used to define Deity in Christian Science are Principle, Mind, Life, and Love. As one thinks thusly of God, it becomes evident that God is not somewhere. God is everywhere. Otherwise some of creation would lack God.
