The cold sense of nothingness is actually God's presence?----r1

When we all sit quietly and just listen, alot of us feel a cold, dead, sense of nothingness. I was wondering, what we all sense as the cold dead nothingness, could that actually be God? Stick with me here!

We know from the Doctrines of grace that we are all totally depraved. Our senses are flawed and can't interpret a thing rightly. Inlight of our senses being flawed this bad, is it possible that what we interpret as the dead, lifeless, nothingness, is actually the living, active, presence of God? It makes sense to me! It makes sense that a totally depraved person with flawed senses could interpret the living presenec of God as actually being dead and cold!

It's kind of neat to think about! Every time you sense the cold, dead, nothingness, let it be a reminder that you're really sensing the presence of God, but you're sensing it through flawed senses.

David says in Psalms 139:7 Where can I flee from your presence?

Pretty neat eh? We can never seem to flee from that feeling that it's cold and dead. And if in fact that cold and dead feeling is the presence of God. Wow!
