Morning Devotion: “What about?”
Having completed most of the book of Proverbs, we move forward. This new series we will entitle “What about?” What about God, What about Jesus, What about the myriad things contained in the scriptures?
Today we start where all things begin and end, God.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
The bible makes no attempt to argue the existence of God, it simply opens with fact, God is.
The bible also, with an unequivocal statement says the person who denies the fact that God is, is a fool.
Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Those who trust in God and know God are those who believe God is.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
If one does not believe in God, or believes in a false god, such as satan they are without hope.
A great proof that God exist is the fact that true born-again believers have a relationship with God. Yes, believers pray to God, they have conversation with God. And yes, God communicates with believers through His wonderful word. I personally consider the word of God like a love letter to me. He lets me know all that I need to know concerning the spiritual, the physical, the social, the emotional, and the future.
The person who accepts the word of God is the person who acknowledges the existence of God. God, the Father is my God. Is He your God?
I am reminded of what the Lord said to the church of Philadelphia concerning “my God.”
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. 13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Our series, “What about?” begins with God. Do you believe?
The choice is still yours,
