Today as i did my BSF homework, i got reminded of 1 theme: that God is a God who wants us to know Him, and this, is via His creation and His words.
For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
-Acts 17:23
Everyone deep down knows that there is a God. People seek for God but don't know where to look. but God wants us to know Him.
18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
-Romans 1:18-20
Because of the sins of mankind, we are unable to understand God fully. Even the bible, there are many who doubt that it is truly the Word of God. Of course there are many arguments for and against, but i guess the strongest one is that, it is life transforming. If we quieten our hearts and read the bible, it can truly transform our lives.
This few months have been a time of reflecting of my religion and my relationship with God. Though i have heard many things against it, but God has preserved me. Till now, i am convinced and convicted in my faith that it is not without reason that my God is a true God. Although i have a long way to go to truly relook at my foundation again and know truly why i had believed, but God's joy and love overwhelms me that i cannot ignore His presence. Through Him i can triumph over the devil and relook at my life's perspectives. and decisions become clear as the Holy Spirit's guidance becomes too clear to ignore through alive and meaningful prayers.
