Don’t Deny the Truth

You can keep on pretending that God does not exist, but no amount of denial can alter the reality of His presence. God's existence is not contingent upon our acknowledgment; rather, it is a fundamental truth that transcends human understanding.

In Psalm 139:7-10, the psalmist declares, "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me." This passage beautifully illustrates the omnipresence of God—His presence is not limited by time or space.

Moreover, ignoring the truth of God's love does not diminish its impact in our lives. Romans 5:8 reminds us, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." God's love is unconditional and unchanging, reaching us even in our darkest moments.

The fact that God is in control is a comforting reality. Proverbs 19:21 assures us, "Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord will stand." Our human plans may falter, but God's purpose prevails. This truth brings hope and assurance, knowing that we are in the hands of a sovereign and loving God.

So, while some may choose to ignore or deny God's existence, His presence, love, and control remain resolutely unyielding. Embracing these timeless truths not only brings peace and purpose but also fortifies our unwavering confidence in the unwavering goodness and sovereignty of our Creator. Deep down, we all know that God exists. Why not admit it? There's nothing to lose and everything to gain by acknowledging the reality of His presence in our lives. Why not accept God’s offer of Salvation?
