Hebrews 11:1 NIV
Some would argue
that unlike the chair or the bed, I cannot see
God. I would disagree. Webster’s defines see
as the ability to get knowledge or an awareness of through the eyes; perceive
visually; look at; view or to visualize as though present; picture. By this definition,
we see God daily.
As I walk through
my home, familiar sights tell me that a loved one is in the house. I may not
immediately see him, but the evidence of his presence is everywhere. I submit that
the same is true of God. As you look around, you see clear evidence that He
exists and that He is present.
When the sun
rises, we see His glory shining through the heavens. At sunset, we watch as He dips
His brush and paints the evening sky with peach and gold. We see songbirds and
hear them lifting praise to their Creator. We stand amazed as lightening dances across
the landscape, and we see evidence of God’s great power. When the oceans roar,
we perceive the sound of His voice. Every day, we get knowledge or an awareness
of God through our eyes. We see Him.
I am positive that God is alive and well.
His face shines through the darkness of my despair. His love wraps around me
like a warm blanket on a cold winter morning. His joy fills my heart to
overflowing. His majesty and power surround me. Light is His garment, and He
pulls the curtain of darkness across the evening sky. The lushness of a green
valley is carpet for His feet. His moon marks the changing of seasons. He wants
you and me to know him.
One day we will
see Him face to face. Until then, we see Him through the world around us. In
Jeremiah 29:13, God tells us, “You will seek me and find me when you seek me
with all your heart.”
The evidence that
God is real, alive and well surrounds us. All it takes is faith to see.
