Identity of God

 God is border-guard between nothing and creation.  In front of God is all creation, the cosmos.  Behind God is nothingness, zero.  (This is part of  human conception of the Deity.)  From nothing to something requires intelligence, logos.  If zero is real number, then nothing is real concept.  Yet nothing as absence, is impossible.  Nothing can be imagined or thought, but not brought into being.  To eliminate everything, including Himself, would be greatest accomplishment.  Perhaps one could imagine God in parenthetical, dormant state while nothing reigns.

Day By Day

 'Day by Day' is mantra or motto to live by, each day of life.  It means take each day as it comes, morning to night & think about only that day, excluding thought of yesterday or tomorrow, as much as possible.  There is a saying, from Jesus of Nazareth, 

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own (Mt 6:34 NIV)

There is a song from stage-play, 'Godspell.'  It's called 'Day by Day.'  Here are lyrics:

Day by day
Day by day
Oh Dear Lord
Three things I pray
To see thee more clearly
Love thee more dearly
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day

This song was radio hit in 1972. It has nice tune and may be easily hummed or silently sung.  The challenge of today - live with faith, hope and love; God.
