The Great Liar's Request

“Woe to those who say, ‘Let God make speed and hasten His work that we may see it’.” Isaiah 5:18-19

We have all heard someone say, “If God is real why doesn’t He show Himself?” Duh! He did and sinful man crucified Him. “Well, why doesn’t He show Himself again so that we can see Him?” Our response is simple; He does every day. Look at an atom and how intricate it is. Look at the universe and how vast it is. Look at the complexity of all creation and marvel. All these things are the demonstration of God, but we hear people say, “Oh, no. This is all by chance. We can’t believe an omniscient mind with omnipotent power could have done this.”

Mankind always has the same lame excuse and the same empty request. “Just let God show Himself and we will believe.” God’s answer to that old litany is the same. “Woe to you.” Jesus Christ is the full manifestation of God and God says to all who reject Him, “Woe to you.”

Dear Father, Don’t let us be fooled by silly questions. Amen
