They Don't Know God

I recently joined another website to promote my blog. Usually this never turns out well for me. The reason is that I have a very strong convictions about my faith and when I see the comments that some people make about God being a superstition and how nature just magically appeared I get super hot mad!! The truth is I don't need to read those comments first of all, and second of all I have to love those people in spite of what they think. We all have had times in our lives when we were not connected to God and most definitely not in a relationship with Jesus. I personally remember a time that my feelings toward God were: as long as He was there when I was in trouble I was good with Him hanging around. It's funny, not LOL funny, that I used to be one of those people that didn't understand fully what and who God really was and the impact He could have on my life if I only surrendered myself to His will.

My pastor said this about the Bible, "The Bible doesn't have to be defended. It defends itself." If you have never picked up your Bible and read any scripture then you can't truthfully make a decision about whether it's contents are true or not. Many intellectuals have studied and read and tried to disprove the Bible only to find themselves believing the very thing they set out to disprove! God is real and very much alive! So what does the Bible say about these things? Hebrews 4:12 says, "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." This is how powerful the Word of God is for those who read it and hear it! It cuts to your heart revealing things to God that you had hidden from the world, exposing them so that He can provide healing. It goes to the bone, the very marrow of the bone, and penetrates even the hardest of hearts. It radically changes your behavior, your thought processes, and your attitude! 

It's easy to say that the Bible is not relevant, or old fashioned or even a myth if you have never even read one scripture. It's like going trying to be a doctor and never going to med school. How can you be knowledgeable about something you know nothing about? I fought for many years to allow God to change my Christian walk. I didn't want to be changed. I was "good enough", so I thought. But on that special day in March of 2000, not only was my heart changed, it was broken and today it breaks for what breaks God's heart. As hard headed and hard hearted as I was, God pierced my heart with His Word. If you have ever read the book of Job you know that not only was Job tried with trials, he was completely stripped of everything that mattered to him and when he was at his weakest and could curse God for even being born, he realized God's greatness. Job 9:2-13 says, “Truly I know it is so,But how can a man be righteous before God? If one wished to contend with Him,He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand. God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered? He removes the mountains, and they do not know when He overturns them in His anger; He shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; He commands the sun, and it does not rise; He seals off the stars; He alone spreads out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea; He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south; He does great things past finding out,Yes, wonders without number. If He goes by me, I do not see Him; If He moves past, I do not perceive Him; If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’ God will not withdraw His anger, The allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath Him."

Sometimes, we have to put our intellect aside and listen to what God is saying to us. I've heard this saying many times, "God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called." It is in knowing Him that we come to know the things that are important in eternity. The reality is, that without God, my life would leave no legacy.

Think about it!

Do you think God is real? That He is the creator of all things? That He loves you whether you believe in Him or not? Will you open your Bible and let God pierce your heart with His Word? What are you afraid to give up so He can change you? Let Go and let God!! Love Y'all!
