Where is GOD?

You will find if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.
                                                                          Deuteronomy 4:29

Carreia Junior, a Brazilian poet,writes,
One day a child asked his father:
—Dad, where is God? My eyes have never seen him. Why is it I can only imagine him on the earth, in heaven, in the flowers, in the bird's nest? I feel his presence in the prairies, in the ocean, in the sunlight, in all living things. But I don't know where he is?
—Dad, why doesn't God appear like the moon on the horizon, the fruits on the trees and the birds in the nest?


The father replied: Son, sow peace and understanding, love and forgiveness. Flee from envy and evil. Then you'll see God, right in the bottom of your heart.


Science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God.
What's more, the Bible doesn't even go out of its way to prove God's existence. It simply states,
"In the beginning God..." (Genesis 1:1) and calls us to faith by teaching about God's accomplishments in the universe and among humanity. So we either believe in God, or we doubt and try to believe God doesn't exist.


But we cannot change the truth. We must live by faith in God, who always cares for us.
We must obey in times of peace and trust God to help in times of trouble.

PRAYER
O great God, in our personal battles we sometimes doubt your existence.
In our imperfection we cannot see your face. Help us, Lord, to have steadfast faith in you.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
