Sensing God

In Kindergarten, we learned the five senses. I remember sitting cross-legged on the big, red circular rug and pointing to the part of the body responsible for each: eyes, ears, nose, mouth, hands. The five senses they are responsible for are sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. These senses are foundational to any human relationship. While there is probably only one type of relationship that uses all five, most use at least three. It makes me wonder why a God who desires so deeply to be close to us should choose (except on rare occasions) to interact with none of these basic senses. He certainly knew about them and how they worked - he made us! So... why? Why make it so hard for us to relate to him on a level we can understand?

This is just a question for now. More will come later - tomorrow, perhaps. For now, it is bedtime.
