I have not seen God. But I have looked at my child’s eyes, and have been overwhelmed by the miracle of unfolding life.
I have watched the trees bedeck themselves with new garbs of green in the spring, and have been stirred by the miracle of continual rebirth.
I have looked at the stars, and have been overcome by the miracle of the grandeur and majesty of the uiverse.
I know that God exists, because I have heard the song of His presence from all the tree-tops of creation.”
Ben Zion Bokser
I’ve quoted from Ben Zion Bokser before. I like what he say’s
“I know that God exists, because I have heard the song of His presence from all the tree-tops of creation.”
There are many people out there that say God dose not exist. I honestly cannot believe it because without God I think life would be meaningless.
My brother an Atheist is fond of saying. “Life’s short and the one who has all the toys at the end wins.”
He doesn’t because someone ends up with all his toys.
The writer of Ecclesiastes states,
“I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
Ecclesiastes 1:14
That’s to me is what life without God is.
I cannot believe that spark that makes us human, the soul, just vanishes into oblivion.
For me there has to be a God or the world would not make sense.
For that to happen one needs faith.
The writer of Hebrews saying,
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Hebrews 11:1.
“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.
Perhaps that’s why those who believe there is no God find it so hard to believe there is.
It’s hard to have faith in something you can’t see, feel or hear.
Yet scientist operate on what I would call educated faith. They theorize something is happening because of what they see then proceed to try and actually see it.
It’s the same way when it comes to faith. God does not ask us to have blind faith but rather look around at the world, the universe and everything in it.
It is all orderly and in balance. It’s because everything is that way that scientist can discover the things they do. Nothing is random even though we may see it that way.
Even the smallest space rocks are governed by the pull of gravity other factors however minute. We may not be able at the moment to measure all the forces that act on them, but those forces are there.
We may not be able to see God but we only have to look at the mathematical perfection of the universe to see the hand of a creator God.
Think about it.
