We Can Know God Exists, If We Are Willing

Jesus spoke of people who closed their eyes to the truth. He spoke of people who closed their hearts to understanding. He was quoting from the book of Isaiah when He made these remarks. He was talking about people who… well, He put it this way: “[T]hey look, but they don’t really see. They hear, but they don’t really listen or understand.” Matt. 13:13

The evidence for God can be there right in front of us. It can be available for us to see and yet we can choose not to see it. (Let’s be honest, sometimes people are living in such a way that a Holy God can be downright uncomfortable.)

In order to see God as He reveals himself in our world we have to be willing to see God. There is a measure of choice involved on our part. God gives us enough evidence that we can see him and know He exists. In fact, we can have assurance that He exists…if we are willing.

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.
 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
    and their words to all the world.

Psalm 19:1-4
