The Lost Sense of God

THE world is fast losing God out of its knowledge. The sense of his presence is being lost from many hearts even of his professed children. There is a failure to acknowledge God's nearness, and his divine guidance in the affairs of every-day life. It is this sense of the divine presence that brings us into real communion with God. When we can realize that his great heart of love joys in our joys and sorrows in our afflictions; that there is nothing that befalls us as his children but draws out his interest in our behalf, we shall come to see how practical is our relationship to him, and how much more than an abstract principle or a theory of doctrine is our Heavenly Father. We shall find him indeed a present help in every time of trouble.
