A little problem with immanence

Wordsworth, in a particularly expansive mood, wrote:
And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something for more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting sins,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky and the mind of Man
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thoughts
And rolls through all things.

Which tells me Wordsworth didn't have a magnifying glass.  Here are some examples of nature at her most freakishly terrifying - mostly targeting ants, for some reason:
And eight more.

If the deity is truly present and expressed in all things...yikes.
