Do you know people who do not believe in God? Do you shake your head at the thing they do? Do you sometimes wonder if they are right? Does the evil in the world cause you second guess yourself? Are you struggling with your faith? Are you hanging on by your fingernails?
We likely know someone who doesn’t believe in God. If we don’t know they well, we know about them or have seen them in our towns and cities. In some cases, they don’t want to believe because something bad has happened to them. They may even hold it against God.
Others may have never heard of God, as strange as that may seem to us. So many believers have grown up believing in God and cannot fathom someone having not heard of God. But they are out there. They have lived a completely different life than we have. They have lived a life of neglect, abuse, and survival of the fittest. If they have heard of God at all, they have been told he is a myth or some cosmic force they cannot know.
We can be the people who tell them about God. We can tell them the good news of Jesus Christ. We can let them know that God is watching over everything, even if he does not always intervene. God is looking for those who will seek to know him. He is looking for people who will obey him. He is looking for people to set free from the evil in which they have been entangled. We can open the eyes of someone who does not know God and set them free.
I pray we all see those around us who do not know God. I pray we seek to know God. I pray each one of us will share the good news of Jesus and set people free from the bondage of evil. Look around you. See the people who do not know God. Share the message of Jesus. Set people free.
Psalm 14:1-2
Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;
there is no one who does good.
The Lord looks down from heaven on humankind
to see if there are any who are wise,
who seek after God.
