You will find Him

You will find Him
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.
When someone tells me they don’t believe in God, or God doesn’t exist. I ask the question; have you truly searched for God?
Most people I know who don’t believe in God have not truly read the Bible. Either that or they’ve made up their mind that, since they can’t see or touch God physically he doesn’t exist.
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.
Blaise Pascal said,
“Belief (in God) is a wise wager. Granted that faith cannot be proved, what harm will come to you if you gamble on its truth and it proves false? If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation, that He exists.” Blaise Pascal
Pascal also wrote,
“In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.” Blaise Pascal.
It is my hope that for you the reader there is enough light in your faith to see God.
That being said, what I would say to anyone who does not believe in God, is give God a chance to reach out to you. Read the Bible particularly the New Testament. Read it with an open mind. Praying asking God to show Himself to you.
It can’t hurt.
Please think about it.

You will find Him

You will find Him
In the book of Deuteronomy we find this quote,

“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.

You have to be looking for God? C. S. Lewis states,
“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.
Lewis is right. Many who don’t believe in God are not really looking for Him. Many Atheist say I can’t see Him, touch Him, therefore he doesn’t exist. There minds are made up and nothing can convince them otherwise.
I admit I cannot prove God exists scientifically but I can see God’s handiwork in all creation.
The Psalmist tells us,

“The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 

Day after day they 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.

When I look at the world around me and indeed the universe as a whole I see a perfect creation. A place where everything from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest galaxy is arranged in such a way as to allow life to exist as we know it.
I cannot believe this came into being purely by chance. That being said it takes faith to believe God exists.
God requires us to have faith in Him. The writer of Hebrews states,

“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.

God however does not ask for blind faith. God shows himself through the universe he created. All we have to do is truly be looking for God.
As the writer of Deuteronomy states,

“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.
