There is a God


Praise the LORD. 
Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 
Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 
praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, 
praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 
Praise the LORD. 
                                                                                                Psalm 150
Scripture tells us, 
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” 
                                                                    Psalm 53:1a
Many today would say there is no God. It’s not a new thing such beliefs have been around forever.
Sadly many people say there is no God and proceed to assemble facts that point to there being no God, subconsciously or deliberately excluding anything that even hints that He does exist.
I for one firmly believe there is an afterlife and a God who will be there waiting for us, either as our Saviour or our Judge.
I cannot believe that the spark inside our bodies that make us sentient, that makes us the person we are just dissolves into nothingness.
I believe the words of Jesus who said,
“Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.” 
            Matthew 13:43
I look at the world around me and can see the magnificent hand of God in the flower on my desk. Something so beautiful yet so sophisticated in it’s make up, that man has never been able to make one from scratch.
There has to be a divine creator.
But each individual must decide for themselves whether God Exists or not. After which they must weigh the words of Jesus.
Who said,
 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, 
that whoever believes in him shall not perish 
but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
 but to save the world through him.  
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, 
but whoever does not believe stands condemned already 
because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” 
                                                                                                   John 3:16-18
The choice is always up to the individual. What do you believe?
