“The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him. All his thoughts are, ‘There is no God.’ His ways prosper at all times; Your judgments are on high, out of his sight…” (Psalm 10:4-5)
There are two types of atheists. The first is the vocal atheist who tells everyone there is no God. The second is the silent atheist who may say he believes in God but lives like he will never meet Him.
Prosperity creates silent atheists. When our lives are easy here, judgment seems far enough away to be inconsequential. Out of sight, out of mind.
But just because we can’t see things doesn’t mean they don’t exist. We wash our hands to protect from invisible bacteria. We buy carbon dioxide monitors to protect us from unseen poisons, and we enjoy the warmth of an unseen summer breeze.
Just because you can’t see Him doesn’t mean He isn’t there.
“To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” (1 Tim 1:17)
