Psalm 19:1-2 English Standard Version (ESV)
1 The heavens
declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day
pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
A young man declares, “Since it is so obvious then I don’t need to tell people about God.”
Yes it is so obvious that man saw God in the fire and declared He was a fire God and gave Him a name.
Then they saw Him in the wind and said He was the God of the wind and gave Him another name.
Then they saw Him in the water and the same thing happened.
My question is a little more direct to the point young man. “Did you come to this conclusion on your own or did you only give thought to that possibility after reading Psalm 19?”
Man left without a guide will draw his own conclusions. In this I must confess, if the bible does not specifically reveal a truth, I get curious about the possibilities.
In the Garden God walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day, every day. They had God to observe and we know nothing about what was said. The only question to arise out of that time was posed by a liar who presented the possibility of a truth.
“God is not telling you everything.”
“He said do not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil because he is hiding something from you.”
“There are things God does not want you to know. God keeps secrets.”
When did intellect replace relationship?
Here we are after the Cross of Christ in the church age. We have His Word and His Word is true and yet without perfect understanding, without great intellect, we have questions that we want answered.
John 14:26 English Standard Version (ESV) But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Will the Holy Spirit teach us all things?
