God has planted evidence of His existence on the pages of history, in the handiwork of nature, and in the beauty of the skies above us. We read of His faithfulness to care for His people from the beginning of recorded history to this very moment. We find nourishment for our bodies tucked away in plants, animals, and minerals. Sailors find directions in the stars He hung in the heavens above as they sail from one country to another. Wherever we look, we can find God’s fingerprint on the planet or a signpost in the sky that directs us to His dwelling above us and beyond us.
However, it takes a willingness to see Him, an open mind to search for Him, a sensitive heart to accept Him, and a selfless life to follow Him.
Even those who do not want to believe in Him, use the mind He gave them to try to deny His existence. The arguments they offer and the logic they use, in the final analysis, comes from His grace. When we look at all the gods that have been created by man, not one of them has stood the test of time. They last only as long as their creator and then pass into the darkness of emptiness.
But the Creator, the God who is God, spoke through a Psalmist and said, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day...and night after night...there is no language where their voice is not heard.”
Men may speak and argue, lecture and labor, write and work to erase the existence of God, but there is no way they can reach into the heavens and hide His stars.
Prayer: Thank You, God, our Creator, for making Your existence visible to those who desire to discover You. We ask that all may see Your splendor. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Scripture For Today: The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Psalm 19:1-3
