God at Work

7/9/2008

 
Be ye steadfast, unmovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord.
I Corinthians 15:58


I received a letter from a friend who asked me if I found it upsetting whenever I would encounter someone who claims that the does not believe in God, or doubts God exists...
I replied that, while it is a challenge to share my faith with a person who claims not to believe in the Lord, I am always reminded of the fact that God's word is powerful (Hebrews 4:12). In addition, His word always accomplishes the purpose for which it was sent (Isaiah 55:11). Therefore, I am confident the message of salvation in Christ alone, can be planted in a man's heart even if his initial response is one of disbelief and doubt.

I have known individuals who claimed not to believe in God eventually come to faith in Him. I've seen these same men walk down the aisles of this prison's chapel and receive Jesus as their Savior. And this is because God alone is capable of softening the hardest of hearts. He can reason with the most stubborn of minds. For nothing is too hard for him (Luke 18:27). Even many an avowed atheist has relented of his unbelief at the presence of the Lord. His mercy endures forever!

D.B.
