You have to be truly searching

 You have to be truly searching.

The Psalmist writes,

"Seek the Lord, and His strength: 

seek His face evermore." 

                                                       Psalm 105:4.

Here is a good word of advice for everyone Christian or not. We need to seek the Lord.

Jeremiah the Prophet wrote,

“You will seek me and find me 

when you seek me with all your heart.” 

                                                                  Jeremiah 29:13.

I think the reason people don’t find God is because just are not seeking Him with their whole heart. Either that or their minds are made up that God does not exist and as such they are not looking for Him.

An unknown writer stated,

“Maybe the atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” Author Unknown.

You truly have to be searching for God in order to find Him.

Are you searching for God?

Are you truly searching for God with your whole heart?

Please think about it.

Seek

 Seek

"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.

I like this quote. It’s by an unknown author it states,

“Maybe the atheist cannot find God 

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

                                                                                Author Unknown.

Put simply if you’re not looking for God. You will not find Him. For many people if their minds are made up about anything. All the good arguments in the world will not convince them otherwise.

What I would ask anyone reading this is at least keep an open mind. If you don’t believe in God. Take time to read at least the New Testament. Look at what the men and women who knew Jesus thought about Him.

Be willing to change what you believe.

Please think about it.

If you truly seek

 If you truly seek

In 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 

Someone has said,

“Maybe the atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” Author Unknown.

The truth is simple. You truly must be looking for God to find Him. If you’ve made up your mind that God does not exist. Then you will never find God.

So the question becomes are you truly looking for God?

Please think about it.

If you seek

If you seek
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.
Someone once said,
“Maybe the atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” Author Unknown.
The truth is you must be looking for someone in order to find them. Which is why I think many Atheist cannot find God. They may say they are looking but they already have their minds made up.
I have met many who say they are looking for God, when all they are doing is looking for evidence that what they believe is right.
Finding God is an act of faith. The book of Hebrews 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.
Faith defined as,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”  Hebrews 11:1.
That being said God does not want us to have blind faith in Him. But rather informed faith. The psalmist states,
"The heavens declare the glory of God; 
the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 
Day after day naive 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 
If we look into Science correctly we will see the handiwork of God.
One of the most brilliant minds of our time Stephen Hawking said,
“It would be very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us,” Stephen Hawking.
I like what William Philips a Nobel prize winner in Physics said,
“I believe in God more because of science than in spite of it”William Philips.
Werner Heisenberg the 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.
I think in order to find God we have to keep looking. Both Philips and Heisenberg are well educated scientist who believe in God because of their work in science.
I think to say simply because I cannot see, hear or touch God in a tangible way is naive. Something that has eternal consequences.
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.
Please think about it.
