Seeing Our Need

May 3, 2013

Only a fool would say to himself, ‘There is no God.’ And why does he say it? Because of his wicked heart, his dark and evil deeds. His life is corroded with sin.
–Psalm 53:1 (TLB)

We live like a little ant on this little speck of dust out in space. We get a Ph.D. degree and we strut across the stage and say, “Well, I don’t know whether or not there is a God.” And we can’t even control ourselves. We can’t even keep from blowing ourselves apart. We can’t even keep from manufacturing nuclear weapons that could destroy the world. We can’t even keep from hating each other, and fighting with each other, and killing each other. We can’t even keep from stealing from each other. We can’t even keep from dying, because all of us are going to die. No wonder the Bible says, “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God,” because a man that would deny the existence of God is a fool.

Prayer for the day

Almighty God, help me to live in such a way, that when I tell others of Your existence, they will be drawn to acknowledge and receive You.

May we who love JESUS let his light shine through us until it reaches the far corners of the world.

Bless The Lord, oh my soul and all that is withinme, Bless His Holy Name.

Most of my family and friends are unbelievers and mock my faith. I pray for them. But please pray for me, for their disdain often is an impediment to my Christian path. Please Lord have mercy on me and guide me.

Joe says 5.3.2013, 08:40 a.m.

Grace and mercy upon all of us sinners dear Lord.

John says 5.3.2013, 07:53 a.m.

This is so true

Scripture is clear, the Godless man will reap what he has sown. The Good News is it also declares, where there is life there is hope. If you do not know Jesus Christ personally, please don't wait any longer. Your past does not matter at all.

It has become popular in recent years to say there is no God. There is even a youtube website where people say they blaspheme the Holy Spirit. One of Satan's greatest tricks is mob mentality rather than individual seeking of the truth.

Cheri says 5.3.2013, 02:36 a.m.

Shine Your light through me dear Lord, that others may see Your love and turn to You.

Jo says 5.3.2012, 11:14 p.m.

My son has been "educated" and is an atheist. States we follow a fairy tale. Please pray for BJ my son. May he stop denying His existence. It is heartbreaking to us.

Dave says 5.3.2012, 7:44 p.m.

Awesome devotion. I'm glad God is so merciful and such a loving father. We are all so blessed - May we all bring others to Christ because the time is drawing near when Jesus will return!

Keep praying George. Will pray with you. God can with your son! Just think of the grace of God. We all need God.

Joe says 5.3.2012, 08:35 a.m.

Amen Bob. Me too Good Lord and all my loved ones.

George says 5.3.2012, 08:18 a.m.

I pray for my son every day. He has said "I can do what God can." This shows his denial of God is greater than him. I will keep praying for him and he will one day see God is greater than all of us.

Annie says 5.3.2012, 08:08 a.m.

Without God there would be nothing, everything that exists including myself. Everything comes from You alone, everything lives by Your power. LORD, I believe, in You and no one can take Your place all the glory, honour and praise belong to You alone!

Christine HaiyanJin says 4.28.2012, 03:03 a.m.

Dear lord God almighty, Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit,Thank thee for accepting and hearing my father's confession of sins and cure his body soul and spirit and his influence to receive thy granted baptism into God the Father God the son Jesus Christ H.S.

Jennifer says 5.3.2011, 3:01 p.m.

Thank you and your family for spreading the Word of God. I can remember growing up and watching Mr Graham with my grandma and grandpa. I know my grandma accepted the Lord before she passed, I pray that at some point my grandpa did before he died and I feel in my heart that grandpa found the Lord through Mr. Graham. I feel a connection to Mr Graham and I hope that is God telling me that my grandpa is in heaven. I pray I see him again one day.

Bob says 5.3.2011, 10:15 a.m.

God be merciful to me a sinner.

Joe says 5.3.2011, 08:35 a.m.

Please Lord soften all of our sinful hearts so they may trust in your love for us.

Gerry says 5.3.2011, 06:51 a.m.

Sadly fallen man is a sinner and as long as we remain on earth we will continue to sin. That does not give use license to to sin however. We must do our best, daily, to fight sin and utilize God's power to do our best to overcome temptation to sin. God only asks for our best effort and he is faithful to forgive.
