1071 Lawfulness in nature.... will that has become form....

August 26, 1939: Book 20

Research in spirit and you will regocnize that all life in nature takes place according to law. And if you now desire an explanation, you must turn questioningly to the author of this lawfulness, and you will receive enlightenment. The reign and activity of the eternal deity is most clearly recognizable in nature, for everything repeats itself in a certain order, always in the same period of time, always in the same sequence, in form and nature according to divine will. And so all becoming in nature is an eternally repeating process, which in turn is subject to a certain rhythm; and man can certainly bring about an apparent change in this order, but he can never interfere with the laws of the divine creator without any harmful effect. If God's creative spirit visibly expresses itself in everything that surrounds the human being and he is unable to stop or counteract God's activity, then there can surely be no doubt that a will controls everything and that the human being is therefore powerless against this will. He must realize that he too is subject to the same lawfulness and must therefore also be the product of this directing will of the lawgiver. And it follows from this that all natural coming into being would again be unthinkable if the divine creator wanted to withdraw His will from it, for everything that exists and comes into being is only the will of God that has become form. Anything arbitrary, irregular would certainly give rise to doubt, yet the tiniest work of creation testifies to unsurpassable wisdom and omnipotence, and anyone who attentively observes even the smallest work of creation can never deny himself the realization that an exceedingly wise designer must be at work Who creates and governs in the most exact order and most perfect regularity....

Amen
