<TITLE>08. Par 56-63</TITLE>L-56 As the old fisherman started pulling his boat on, the little fellow noticed that tears begin to come down the old fisherman's face. And the little lad turned to see what he was looking at, and there was a rainbow across the sky. So the little fellow setting in the stern of the boat, become enthused. So he was holding onto the side of the brail, and he raised up, and run up into the stern of the boat, and fell down at the old fisherman's lap. And he said, "I want to ask you something that my mother, nor my Sunday school teacher, or pastor, can answer for me."
And the old fisherman stopped his oaring and said, "What is it, lad?"
He said, "I noticed you looking at that rainbow." Said, "They tell me that God put that up there."
He said, "That's true, my lad."
He said, "If God is so great, could anyone see Him?"
And the old fisherman embraced the little boy to his bosom; he said, "Blessings on you, my little lad. Let me tell you something. All that I've seen for the past fifty years has been God."
There was so much God on the inside, till he could see Him on the out. Now, that's the only way you're ever going to be able to see God, is get Him on the inside of you, let Him look through your eyes, and He will declare Himself.

L-61 Of course, God is in His universe. No one that's got his right mind could think of... Go down here at Los Angeles, Mount Palomar, somewhere, and look at that--them pictures that they have taken. And that great observatory, where that a hundred and twenty million years of light space, you can see. Break that down into miles and see where you'd go. Why, you'd run a row of nines around this city, still couldn't break it down into miles. But beyond that there's still the solar systems, on beyond. And when a person looks at that, there's only one thing you can do, is raise up your hands and how--sing, "How great Thou art! How great Thou art!" Each one perfectly turning, till they can tell you the eclipse of the sun and the moon, twenty years before it happens, to the minute: so perfectly timed by God.
And then if you'll just notice in nature, how that God will move among His universe. How that the world is tipped just a little bit to bring the hot and cold air together to make rain that waters your crops. How that God lives in His universe. Do you believe that? Sure, He does.

L-63 And sometime ago I was talking to a person that--on the subject of God. And it was down at--in Kentucky. And he said to me... He was an infidel. Mr. Wood and I had been squirrel hunting, and we went over to ask if we could hunt on his place. And he said, "Oh, go ahead," he said.
Brother Wood said, "This is me and my--my pastor wants to hunt."
He said, "Wood, you don't mean you've got so lowdown till you have to carry a preacher with you all the time?"
And he said, "No, this is just my pastor." Said, "He likes to hunt." And said, "I..."
And I'd been camped out for about two weeks, with beard about a half-inch long, and--and dirty as I could be from sleeping on the ground, the way we were camping. I was out resting. And that's my way of resting, because I found God in nature. That was my first Bible, was God in His nature, in His universe.
And he said, "Well," he said, "it's all right, I guess, to associate with preachers." He said, "But, you know, I have my idea of those things." He said, "I don't believe in any kind of a religion." And there was another man setting with him. And--and we went ahead, talking about religion (they did) for a while. And I just stood there, eating an apple that I picked up off the ground.
