God is There

God is there
The Psalmist writes,
"Where can I go from your Spirit?  
Where can I flee from Your presence?  
If I go up to the heavens, You are there; 
if I make my bed in the depth, You are there.  
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, 
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
 even there Your hand will guide me.  
Your right hand will hold me fast." 
                                              Psalm 139:7-10.
We cannot hide from God. No matter where we go God is there. We may deny that God exists but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist as C. S. Lewis said,
“A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.” C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain.
Ben Zion Bokser wrote,
“I have not seen the robin but I know he is there because I heard him singing through my window from the tree-top outside.
I have not seen God.  But I have looked at my child’s eyes, and have been overwhelmed by the miracle of unfolding life.
I have watched the trees bedeck themselves with new garbs of green in the spring, and have been stirred by the miracle of continual rebirth.
I have looked at the stars, and have been overcome by the miracle of the grandeur and majesty of the universe.
I know that God exists, because I have heard the song of His presence from all the tree-tops of creation.” Ben Zion Bokser.
I as a believer in Christ Jesus believe that God exists.
I see the evidence everyday when I wake up and look out at the fields and trees beside my house. I see God’s handiwork in the wild Rabbit my two year old grandson tries in vain to catch as it runs across our lawn.
I look at the stars at night and realize that from the greatest galaxy to the smallest subatomic particle everything is in perfect balance to allow life to exist as we know it here on earth.
All of this tells me there is a creator behind it all.
My question then becomes to you the reader do you believe in God? If not why not?
Please think about it.

God is There

God is there
C. S. Lewis speaking of God said,
“He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others-not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition.”  C. S. Lewis.
The way I interpret this is we have to at the very least have an open mind as to whether God exists. If we close our mind to the existence of God then we will never see Him.
The Bible does not debate the existence of God. It opens with the words,
“In the beginning 
God created the heavens and the earth.” 
                                                                Genesis 1:1.
Believing in God is an act of faith. Billy Graham the great American evangelist said,
“I can't prove it scientifically, that there's a God,
 but I believe.” 
                                 Billy Graham.
God asks the individual accept by faith He exists, but not blind faith. He shows himself to all those who cares to look.
The psalmist states,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; 
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” 
                                                             Psalm 19:1.
The writer of Hebrews tells us,
“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.  
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” Hebrews 1:1-3.
Ultimately what you the individual believe about God comes down to an act of faith as to whether He exists or not, for that is what God asks of each individual. The writer of Hebrews stating,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for
 and certain of what we do not see.”  
                                                                 Hebrews 11:1
“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.
Thus dear reader the choice is yours. Do you believe in God?
Please think about it.
