Proof of God 

   Proof of God is everywhere.  All of creation speaks to His glory.  Those who say they can’t find God need to consider the evidence.

   When I see a sunset I am reminded of the crucifixion and death of our Lord, Jesus Christ.  The Light had come into the world and people refused to walk in the light, preferring the darkness that satisfied their own ego and desires.  When Jesus was crucified and died darkness covered the land.

   At sunset darkness covers the land.  Many crimes are committed, and many sins occur under the cover of darkness.  Sunset reminds us that it's harder to find our way in the dark; we need the Light of Christ to guide us.  John warns us of the darkness of the world in His gospel, “And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred the darkness, because their works were evil.” (John 3: 19).

   At sunrise, the light returns to chase the darkness of the night away.  Just as Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into heaven to overcome the darkness of sin and death in the world.  This is the Light that shows the way to God, the Light that will lead us to our heavenly home.  Jesus said, “I am the light of the world, whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. (John 8: 12).  Each day at sunrise I am reminded of the Light that I must follow.

   Sunrise and Sunset.  So common that we often pay them little attention except to notice the beauty.  Sadly, the beauty we recognize is often just the worldly beauty, not the spiritual truth and beauty each represents.  If we look at them with an open mind and an open heart, we see the proof of God.

   I would remind those who say they can’t find God in this world that He is everywhere.  But in order to see Him you must open the eyes of your heart and seek Him.
