It has been said that the existence of God is the foundation of all religion. The whole building creaks and shudders if the foundation has been compromised. Without any doubt, we must believe that He is, and that He is who he said He is before we can seek Him out, praise, worship, and love Him.
Therefore, it is necessary that we know why we believe; that our belief is based on undeniable evidence; and that we are able to give a better reason for His existence than to say that our parents or Bible teachers told us so. We might as well pronounce, "There is no God," if we have nothing else with which to support our belief.
So that we may be more fully convinced of, and grounded in truth, I offer up a few thoughts to ponder on this topic. All nature displays the existence of its creator. We may not easily see it, but we detect this truth illuminated in all creatures. The entire universe exhibits the character and stamp of an almighty and omnipotent God.
Universal agreement or the idea of a God is found among many nations. It's found in the language of every country and region. Even the most despicable idolatry suggests a Deity. All nations no matter how savage and immoral have confessed some god. This universal conclusion of mankind is no other than the voice of God. There is no speech or language where this voice is not heard.
God can be seen everywhere in creation. We only have to look at our beautiful world as proof of His glory. Remember, the world is a sacred temple. And it is important that we should fear or respect and honor God always. Keep the words from Isaiah 45:6 in your heart, "...I am the Lord, and there is no other."
Scripture: Hebrews 11:6; John 20:29; Psalm 19:1-4; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Psalm 14:1
Prayer: Dear Lord, may You always be in my heart and Your goodness guide my thoughts, words, and actions, amen.
May God richly bless you,
Claudette
