Perhaps the hardest thing

 Perhaps the Hardest thing

In the book of Jeremiah we read God as saying,

“You will seek me and find me 

when you seek me with all your heart.” 

                                                        Jeremiah 29:13.

I find most people don’t have God on their radar. This world and all that is happening in it and in their lives is all they are concerned with. At the same time those who espouse to be ardent Atheist it seems without looking carefully for God, dismiss Him. They don’t believe what they cannot see, hear, or touch.

Someone (not me) has said,

“Maybe the atheist cannot find God

 for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.”

                                                                             Author Unknown.

Those who don’t believe in God I feel have not looked at the scientific facts,

Werner Heisenberg 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.

Even Stephen Hawking considered one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century admitted,

“The universe and the laws of physics seem to have been specifically designed for us” Stephen Hawking.

The way I see it the proof God exists it all around us, but just like any scientist who realizes from his research something is there he cannot see we need faith to believe in God.

The writer of Hebrews saying,

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for 

and certain of what we do not see.  

This is what the ancients were commended for. 

                                                                     Hebrews 11:1,2

The writer then 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.

And having faith in anything, especially someone you cannot see is perhaps the hardest thing anyone can do.

Please think about it.
