Evidence of Truth, Not Intended to be Hidden

Psalm 19:1-4

The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork, Day unto day utter speech and night unto night show knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. their line is gone out through ther earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them has He sat a tabernacle for the4 Son.

Beloved, ours is not a blind faith based on wishful thinking but is based on observation oof our world and the unique nature of each person we see. Only the spiritually blind man, denying authority and honor due our King, refuses to see truth of God's existence and His nature and His great love for His creation.

How else to explain the staggering wealth, beauty and provision for our guidance, down to the tiniest created detail and beyond the farthest star? 

Mark 4:21-25                                                                                                                             “A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand? 22“For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light. 23“If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24And He was saying to them, “Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides. 25“For whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him." 

Jesus directed our gaze to the beauty of a short-lived lilly of the field, which He described, saying "If they, who live for a day and are gone, are clothed more richly than King Solomon. the richest man in history, would not I do the same for you?"

Isn't this a staggering illustration of His thoughtful preparation of every step of our path to Him? It thrills my heart every time I read or speak this passage.

Whoever sees the truth and seeks the Author and Father of us all will be rewarded; those who reject His light and prefer to ignore His marvelous evidence doom themselves to eternal separation from God and will in no way inherit life in His Kingdom.

I thank God for His timing in my birth, that I reached 8th grade of school when a class called Choral Reading existed and thrived, teaching me to examine God's world as a child discovers the wonder of his own fingers and toes, simply and thoroughly. Memorizing this reading taught me to keep my eyes on the beauty and wonder of His world, which became the irreplicable backbone leading to complete recognition of the sovereignty of God and His unquestioned right to become revered and obeyed as our Creator, Provider, Savior and Lord.

Remembering the eternal blessings received from being offered access to world-changing view on this life and the next in school was a marvelous gift from God, which our children will never know; instead, they are forbidden to pray to Him and taught about all the various false religions and self-soothing lifestyles this world has developed to avoid acknowledging their God, which will ultimately fail them! 

God has said in Isaiah 45:23: "I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear."
