My understanding of the Bible, is that if you are not truly seeking to understand and find God, your NOT going to understand the words on the pages.
The more you seek God the clearer the understanding. The closer you get to God the clearer you see God at work.
As with any friendship, the more time you spend with someone the more you get to know them. Why should getting to know God be any different.?
People don't believe in God, for a lot of reasons, the biggest being that God has been misrepresented by a lot of bad people. And incorrectly represented by a lot of good people with good intentions.
God's not a genie, that is going to rescue and safe everyone in trouble, one by one. He's not here to make us wealthy or life simple. Not once in reading the Bible did I find that God suggested life would be 'fair'.The Bible tells the story of this world and how we are NOW on the last few pages. The Bible tells us how we can surpass this world to what life really is. The Bible tells us things that have happened and things that are going to happen, giving us a way to walk through and survive, whatever this world throws our way.
Don't you think it's amazing that ONE BOOK could survive the elements of time, persecution, and translations. To still be today, the words it was then. To hold the same power now as it had then.....
Is it hard to believe in something you can't see.?
Weird, you do it everyday.
You trust people, and trust isn't something you see, it's something you feel.
You breathe and without air, something you don't see, you would die.
But believing in God means admitting your sins and changing the way you live, so - No thanks.
God told us this would happen if we turned our backs on Him. I feel sad for the people that can't feel God in their lives. He's been in mine since the day we met and even when I'm not the person I should be, He's always the God He promised to be.
Something to think about
