Learning the Languages of God

So I've come across this idea in response to feelings of excitement over learning new things and trying to look back and understand the mindset I have lived under.

For most of college I have generally seen God in what I saw as explicitly Him, the Bible, prayer, worship music and more. I knew that these things did not hold the breadth of God and how he relates to us in anyway, but I wasn't sure how to get my mind around it. What was ok to commit passions to?

Until driving to town today, it popped into my head that I am simply learning the languages of God. There are certain ones I have learned and experienced God in, and there are many I haven't. Many of the ones I haven't are sometimes termed as secular, but how can something be secular when all things hold together in Christ and He made everything?

This may sound very simply and obvious, but the idea of learning the languages of God. Learning the ways God is revealing himself in a world full of knowledge deeper than we are able to understand. Full of art and beauty, full of unique people, all portraying the One who is behind it all.

I am excited to continue to learn and experience the different ways God reveals himself.
