“The
fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’. They are corrupt, and have
done abominable iniquity; there is none who does good.” Psalm 53:1
You
may have noticed by now that atheism seems to have become all the rage, the new
thing to do. For all the smoke these people blow about their absolute
knowledge of nothingness, they seem more determined than ever to “prove” there
is no God. And their “proof”? The believers’ inability to “prove” a
case for God.
We
don’t have to prove anything except by the way we live, the choices we make,
and the words we speak. These are evidence of the “hope that is within
us”, but we do not have to “prove” anything except to the One who gives life
and mercy and grace so abundantly. And to Him we only prove that we trust
Him to lead our next steps.
We
do not have to take on more than we can handle; the Lord alone knows our
limitations. Our trust in Him, however, will be reflected in our belief
in something much greater than the present moment. For the unbeliever,
this faith alone is more than they can handle, but this faith reflected in our
lives is the compelling factor that causes many to draw nearer and learn more –
or pull away altogether. It is their choice, the choice they will be
forced to live with; but if they are going to make an honest choice, let them
choose according to the Truth that is revealed in us. Let us be all He
calls us to be.
Blessings,
Michael
