seeing God

 

       "I will believe it when I see it" that is a statement that is said to me by a small percentage of the people that I talk to on the streets, but it is said by enough that I think it is worth writing about. Its funny to me to hear people say this just because I think that God is soooo obviously present all around us, but the first thing that you have to realize about someone who makes that comment is that in most cases they don't want to see God because if they did then the realization of there being God means that things that they don't want to change in their lives need to change. Therefore they refuse to look. Their is a scene in the movie Left Behind were two of the characters are talking about God one believer and another non-believer, the non-believer made a comment about God showing himself and knocking a cup of water off the table and the believer said "even if He did you would call it coincidence" just then the non-believer stood up to leave as he did he unintentionally bumped the table and knocked the cup off, looked at it and just walked away.

     See the people who don't see God are the people who don't want to. All we need do to see God is look. Look at the ocean how the water just stops and doesn't overtake the land, why because the moon is placed perfectly in position to hold the ocean in check. Look at the sun how it not only gives us light but also heat and is placed perfectly so that it does not get to hot for us to live beneath and is not to far away to give us the heat and light that we need. Look what else the sun does it's heat causes water from the ocean to rise up into the sky were it forms in the clouds then a wind comes by and blows the clouds out over the land wear they drop the water in order to fill lakes and rivers and giving life to the world. I mean did this all happen by chance.

       Sir Isaac Newton said "If there were no evidence for God other then the human thumb I would believeā€ the way that we are designed is amazing. Ray Comfort makes a statement about thumbs in one of his books he asks "what our hands were reversed?" put on backwards if you will. You could not hold a book, how would you hold your food, and speaking of food thank God for the thousands of taste buds that were out in our mouth. And look at the shape of fruit like bananas, and apples, and pears, and peaches, look at how they fit in your hands perfectly. God is everywhere if you open your eyes to see Him you will. The only way to not see God is to intentionally hide your face from Him, and unfortunately like Adam and Eve many people who have sinned against God feel it is easier to just hide from Him. And like with Adam and Eve God comes calling He knew were Adam and Eve were and He knows were we are, but He wants us to come too Him He is not going to force Himself on anyone. I pray that more people will open their eyes to see that God is at work all around them.

Yeah, creation is amazing if people are willing to see it. I agree with you. I don't think we can "prove" God is there but there is enough evidence if we are willing to believe it and see it and experience Him in our lives.

Oh, and another thing ... what I used to say to people whenever they said "believe it when I see it" type thing, was "you don't see the wind do you, but you believe it is there, right? How do you know the wind is there?" Gets people thinking anyway. We don't "see" love either, but lots of people have the faith to believe it exists before they experience it personally don't they...?
