The Evidence of God

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
-Romans 1:20 (King James Version)

One of the comments that I get from people who read this blog is "How can I really know that God exists?" My answer: Look around you. 

For me, it takes more faith to believe that one day some gasses exploded, creating what we see today. For me, it takes more faith to believe that one day a fish decided to it didn't want to be a fish any more and come out to dry land. For me, it takes more faith to believe that , over millions &  millions of years, that fish became us. It makes much more sense, for me, to put my faith in the Creation of God. The perfect order of His Creation, Creating land and sea before He created fish and animals. Creating trees & grass before creating you and me. That's what I believe. But, back to the statement above: How can we really, really know that God exists? I believe the answer is found in Romans 1:20.

Paul writes, "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse" None of us has ever seen God face to face, but we see His existence by the things which He created. The problem people have is that they don't want to believe the truth. Think about it. We want to act like we're in charge, like everything revolves around us. I work to earn a paycheck. I use that paycheck to create my own "little" world. We create false gods who we worship, instead of giving credit to the One who gave us the ability to do our jobs, to earn our living. Paul says "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen" We see the majesty of God when we look at the mountains. We see the majesty of God when we stand on the mountain peaks looking at the horizon. We see the majesty of God in the waves crashing on the beach. We see the majesty of God when we look at the trees, with their limbs lifted up giving praise to their creator.

Are you so wrapped up in your own "little world" that you fail to recognize the One who created all things? Want proof that God exists? Look out your window. Think About It.
