we may ignore but cannot evade

 We may ignore but cannot evade

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 depths, 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

C. S. Lewis wrote,

"We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God." C. S. Lewis.

The Psalmist writes,

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands." 

                                                             Psalm 19:1

I am amazed at the universe around me. Everything is linked. From the smallest subatomic particle, to the flora and fauna around my house, to the most majestic galaxies I see through a telescope.

Abraham Lincoln wrote,

"I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how he could look up into the heavens and say there is no God." Abraham Lincoln.

God’s presence is all around us. In order to know God all we have to do is believe. To have faith God exists. 

The writer of Hebrews states,

"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.

Faith especially in something we can’t see or feel is a very difficult thing for many people. Which is perhaps why God want’s it that way.

Because people who have faith in someone or something are the strongest of believers.

Please think about it.
