If you seek

If you seek
In the book of Deuteronomy we read,
"But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul."  Deuteronomy 4:29.
Someone once said,
“Maybe the atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” Author Unknown.
The truth is you must be looking for someone in order to find them. Which is why I think many Atheist cannot find God. They may say they are looking but they already have their minds made up.
I have met many who say they are looking for God, when all they are doing is looking for evidence that what they believe is right.
Finding God is an act of faith. The book of Hebrews tells us,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6.
Faith defined as,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”  Hebrews 11:1.
That being said God does not want us to have blind faith in Him. But rather informed faith. The psalmist states,
"The heavens declare the glory of God; 
the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 
Day after day naive pour forth speech; 
night after night they display knowledge. 
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard." 
                                                                                            Psalm 19:1-3 
If we look into Science correctly we will see the handiwork of God.
One of the most brilliant minds of our time Stephen Hawking said,
“It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us,” Stephen Hawking.
I like what William Philips a Nobel prize winner in Physics said,
“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it”William Philips.
Werner Heisenberg the father of Quantum Mechanics and Nobel Prize winner in Physics said,
“The first gulp from the glass of natural science will make you an atheist,
but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you” Werner Heisenberg.
I think in order to find God we have to keep looking. Both Philips and Heisenberg are well educated scientist who believe in God because of their work in science.
I think to say simply because I cannot see, hear or touch God in a tangible way is naive. Something that has eternal consequences.
Please think about it.
