Proof of the Pudding?

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord Called out to the man and said to him, ‘Where re you?’” Genesis 3:8-9

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1

“-- and behold a voice out of the heavens saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’” Matthew 3:17b

“God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.” Hebrews 1:1

The dialogue between Philip Yancey & his friend continues: “’Nobody’s out there, Philip. And if by some chance God does exist, then He’s toying with us. Why doesn’t He quit playing games and show Himself?’ ‘In a strange sort of way, I’ve never been able to get [our] conversation out of my mind. Actually, your complaints against God helped me better understand my own.’

“I then told Richard about the three questions. After I had explained them, I asked if they summed up his complaints against God. [He said] ‘Well, my doubt was more like a feeling – I felt jilted, like God has strung me along just to watch me fall. – Why on earth doesn’t God answer those questions! – If only He answered ONE of them. If, say, He would just speak aloud one time so that everyone could hear, then I would believe. Probably the whole world would believe. Why doesn’t He?’*  Everyone wants proof of God, and it is all around us!
Take care to understand His Word. Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
