Reflection on “There is no God?”
As believers, we are called to stand firm in our faith, even in the face of doubt and skepticism, and if perchance you’re an unbeliever, I pray you encounter Him in a very special way.
Beloved, the Scripture reminds us of the consequences of denying God’s existence and the importance of acknowledging His sovereignty.
In Romans 1:20, Paul writes,
For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.
But is the absence of clear and undeniable proof the same as there being no God?
Romans 1:20 reaffirms the evidence of God’s existence all around us, from the intricacies of nature to the depths of our hearts, and the complexity of human existence points to an exceptionally intelligent Creator.
Instead of saying there is no God, perhaps a more relevant question should be: “Have I experienced God’s presence in my life?”
Think about the times you’ve witnessed beauty in nature, felt a deep sense of love or peace, or experienced an unexpected kindness. These moments, big or small, can be glimpses of a divine God at work in our lives.
There’s enough proof of God’s existence!
Just as creation points to the existence of a Creator, so too can the positive experiences in our lives be signs of God’s presence and love.
While doubt is a natural part of the human experience, it doesn’t have to be the end of the story.
Today, open your heart to the possibility of God’s existence. Explore the wonders of creation, reflect on the beauty and complexity of the world, and seek answers through prayer and scripture study.
Remember, faith is not blind belief – it’s a journey of exploration and trust.
Even when doubt creeps in, there are reasons to hold onto faith in God’s goodness and his presence in our lives.
Stay in there for there is God.
Blessings..!
