God Is 

   “A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.”  C. S. Lewis 

   Christians must take heart even in a world that denies God, hating and persecuting those who worship Him.  God is like a lion; you can say it doesn’t exist but it’s roar will put lie to your claim.  God’s roar will be heard in the hearts of all whether they choose to admit it or not.

   You can’t still the sea, you can’t calm the winds, but the creator of both certainly did when He walked on this earth as a man (Mark 4: 39).  The power of God cannot be denied; it can be rejected; it can be ignored, but it can never be denied.

   We hear our government and the governments of the world making plans as if they are in charge, but their power exists only because God permits it to exist.  Whether they recognize it or not they will, in the end, serve the plan of God.  Pilate, a pagan Roman ruler, sentenced Christ to death, but he also spread the good news.  On the cross above His head, Pilate had written for all the world to see, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” (Matt 27: 37).  Written in Latin, Creek, and Hebrew, the three major languages of that time and place.

   God can and does use whomever He chooses to serve His will, even when they are unaware and deny His very existence.  Atheists who have converted are some of the best evangelists for they have come to understand that God is within each of us and failure to acknowledge that fact doesn’t lessen it in the least.

   Jesus told His apostles, “And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the world.” (Matt 28: 20).  God is with us always and no amount of denial can change that fact.
