God is the beaker because the beaker is the framework in which everything else is contained. The foundation is that on which everything else is built, the paper is that on which everything is painted. The beaker is that which contains the stones.
So the picture of God is not about where can we fit him into our lives but is in fact one where our lives are built completely on him. A very different way of seeing things!
That effectively means everything you do is done in relation to God. When you go to work, how you work, how you interact with colleagues all should show God. When you are at home and how you relate to your family, God should be there. Standing on the football terraces shouting your heads off for your Hibs or hearts, God should be there. There is nowhere that God is not, he encompasses and underpins every part of your life. Or at least he should.
