The analogies are everywhere. They're... omnipresent

The only way I can understand God being in everything is that everything seems to be an analogy for him

Being an engineer[ing student] has it's drawbacks. One of them is that you spend a lot of time staring very intently at a computer screen, a self-crafted sheet of scribbles known as math, or the notes of a professor who's english letters occasionally resemble greek characters. This is not very helpful for those who enjoy good eyesight.

My eyes have gotten a lot worse over the past few years. I get so focused on pretending the colorful pixels in front of me aren't just 1's and 0's that I literally begin to lose sight of everything around me. Likewise, if you're so focused on the immediate things in your life, you'll miss the big picture. Put well by Ferris Bueller, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

To take it further, if you always focus on the issues of the material, the physical, the things you can see, you lose sight of the wonderful beauties and mysteries that lie outside the realm most readily accessible to our senses.

In all of the beautiful things...

As the time of day began to steal the natural light from my room, a beautiful sunset was offered as a non-negotiable trade. And what a beautiful sight. I had to see the sunset through a smudgy glass window with the interference of several trees and a building. If I chose to not look, I would have been ignorant of such an amazing event occurring 180˚ from my line of sight. If I wanted a better look, I could have walked outside, despite the biting cold whispering in my ear that it isn't worth it. But what a sight that would have been.

Isn't that just what God is like? Sometimes we don't even notice God, maybe because we don't always choose to look. Sometimes we see God through the smudged windows and tree branches of our lives, which seemingly blemish the character of God such that He isn't worth a second glance. But if we're willing to fight against all the things that resist our journey towards a more beautiful existance, it will always be worth it.

Such is the nature of relating things to God... the analogy breaks down, in that a sunset will never compare to Him. Still, it seems that a bit of God is in all of the beautiful things.
