It's amazing to me the arrogance some have in their attempts to explain/deny the GOD of the Bible. If you have been on YOUTUBE lately and look up atheism in any sort of way you will see plenty of harsh videos mocking the God of the Bible. Everything from morality, creation, laws, marriage, etc. There is nothing about God the atheistic community will not attack. They say that the God of the Bible does not exist, yet they go out of their way to mock, ridicule, deny the maker of the universe. This is puzzling to me, yet not surprising. I have gotten over being offended by them. I have turned the feelings of offense to feelings of sadness. I have also come to the conclusion through what the Bible speaks about, deafness and blindness. If you truly did not believe in something, you would not waste your time with it, it seems. This fascination with mocking is peculiar. And that tells me this. They believe God is really there, yet, they do like what He tells them. They do not listen and they twist His words so that it excuses their actions, words, thought life, etc. It truly is sad.
I had a thought this morning after reading in JOB. God loves us. Yet, He will not answer to us. Ever. He is not under our control, jurisdiction, or thumb. He is not surprised by those who choose to mock Him. He keeps on loving and is sovereign. IF you wish to find God, go to the poor, the homeless, the needy, there he will be. Go to drug rehab, go to the sick, those in prison, those suffering, there you will find Him. You wont find him in University classrooms. You wont find Him at political campaigns. You wont find Him sipping Tea with the rich and famous, or cruising on a yacht with high highfalutin. God is on the ground with the poor and needy. To me this is so comforting. He not only meets us where we are at (and this takes humbling ourselves completely before Him) but He suffers with us. You will find God in orphanages, funeral homes, underground movements in China and other countries. God is not out to prove Himself. If looking in the mirror is not enough proof that God exists for you, then you better rethink. This is one of the most wonderful things about God. He is who He is. Not shaken. Not poked and prodded to anger. He is steady, unfailing, unmovable. He is the rock of my salvation. So keep it up atheists, keep mocking. What comes around, goes around. Every word, thought, action, is subject to God and in the end He will judge right and true.
So, don't let those who hate God get you down. Remember to always have an answer for the truth, and do it with respect and love. The Bible never says to give in or prove anything, it says to give an answer for the hope you have. If people don't like the truth, that is between them and God. And God is unchanging and is who He is.
In the first paragraph it should say "They believe God is really there, yet, they do NOT like what He tells them."
