Be Still
The Psalmist writes,
Believing in God takes faith and as Blaise Pascal wrote,
We are so wired, so content with looking at what this world has to offer that we don’t see God. Yet as the Psalmist warns,
“I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”Ecclesiastes 1:14.
The writer goes on to say,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.
The Apostle Paul speaking in Athens states,
"For he (God) has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.” Acts 17:31.
Thus the decision is up to you. You can believe in God or you can choose not to. You can believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The Saviour of Mankind or you can choose not to.
The apostle Paul writes,
“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10: 9,10.
The choice is yours.
Please think about it.
The Psalmist writes,
“Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalm 46:10.
Someone said,
“Maybe the atheist cannot find God
for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.”

That may be true. Many people I know who do not believe in God have made up their mind and are not willing to change.Believing in God takes faith and as Blaise Pascal wrote,
“In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe
and enough shadows to blind those who don't.”
Blaise Pascal.
I think as well the reason many people today in our 24/7 society do not believe in God is that they are not looking for Him. They are distracted by the many things that our society has to offer. You just have to walk down the street in any city, go into a shop, walk in the park. Even sitting in a doctors office and you see people constantly on their electronic device.We are so wired, so content with looking at what this world has to offer that we don’t see God. Yet as the Psalmist warns,
That God,“...will be exalted among the nations,”
That God “will be exalted in the earth.”
In the book of Ecclesiastes we read,“I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”Ecclesiastes 1:14.
