I've met alot of people in recent months that do not believe in God. Some believe there is a greater power but they don't feel the need to worship. Others believe there is a God but resent organized religion. These facts are very disturbing to me because I can't imagine living without my God, and my religion. I can't refuse God. There is so much He has done for me. Even though I can't see Him or touch Him I believe He is real. As a Christian I have learned to WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT. The song 'What If' by Nicole Nordeman explores the possiblity of there NOT being a God. She says
What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more
Than folklore that must be told and retold
But what if you're wrong?
What if there's more?
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?
(I've cut out some of my favorite lines.)
My question to the unbelievers is WHAT IF YOU ARE WRONG?
How can you not believe God is Real?
India Arie asks this question in her song, 'God is Real'. She then gives numerous examples as to why she knows God is real. How can someone deny there is a God after noting all these things? Here's the India Arie song...
God is Real !!!
The sweetest honey to the brightest flower
The largest planet to the smallest atom
Snowflakes and the bird kingdom
Smaller thatn the eye can see bigger then the mind can conceive
Heard a man on the radio today
(Spoken)
I mean I'm not going to believe in anything that I can't see and I've been through a lot of hardships in my life ya know ya know in my life
Must confess I disagreed with what he had to say
How he could he not believe that God is real
I don't understand howHe could feel that way
When there's earth, air, water, and fire
So many different flowers
Sunshine and rain showers
So many different crystals
And hills and volcanoes
Chorus
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
All of this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
I know this is not by chance
That's how I know that God is real
That's how I know that God is real
In St. Lucia I jumped in the water
(Spoken)
It was like I was seeing it for the first time.
It literally changed my life.
For the first time I understood its power
As I swam I was cleansed
If I had any doubts
This experience cleared them
Now I know for sure that GOd is real
I know that it's the truth
By the way it feels
Cause I saw starfish and sponges
Fish shaped like trumpets
So many different colors
I stayed out there for hours
and I only saw a fraction of a fraction
of the deepest of the deep
of the great blue wide
It brought a tear to my eye
We're made of the same stuff
As the moon and the stars
The oceans saltwater just like my tears are
You feel me
The sunrises and sets everyday without fail
