Daniel Robison's Input on Today's Devotion
I have never had any severe things happen to me in life and for this I am extremely thankful.  But I have known many who have lost children before their time because of different things and this gives me pause.  I've seen good Christian people have their faith questioned as they get mad at God for what has happened and I can't say as I blame them.  Today I look at my beautiful grandchildren who mean the world to me.  Precious, rowdy, fun, full of energy.  I pray for them constantly.  When I consider something ever happening to any of my family it makes me realize how blessed I've been to not have my faith tested in this way.  I can see how people ask "Is God There?"
It's human nature to want to see, hear, touch, smell to make sure it's real.  And when people read the old testament and see how God showed his presence to Israel during the Exodus from Egypt we sit back and wonder why God doesn't show his existence today.  Sure we can use all of the canned  cliche statements.  You see God in nature.  He lives inside me. I see him every day in the eyes of my children and grandchildren.  But nonbelievers really don't care to hear any of those answers.  They've heard them all before.  They want physical proof and I understand.  So did Thomas and when Jesus finally did appear to him he told him, "Blessed are those that have not seen and still believe."  It amazes me that the same people that question the existence of God did not physically see the earth when it was created or see animals "evolve" but believe that the earth is millions of years old based on faulty scientific testing.  They put their faith in the same people who can't tell us whether eggs or a burger are good for us or not to tell us how old the earth is.
Today ask God to help you and give you the right thing to say when people as you how we know if God exists.  Spend time in his word and ask for wisdom.
