This is a saying that supposedly originated in Missouri, the “Show Me” State. Having never seen an ocean, they were skeptical and said, “Seeing is believing.” In our day and age, there are few things that require ‘seeing’ to believe. With the media and world-wide coverage, we’ve just about seen everything - everything, that is, except God.
When it comes to God, many people still have a ‘Show Me’ attitude. When a Russian Cosmonaut went into space, he reported that he did not see God. The skeptical astronomer, as he looks into the starry heavens says, “I do not see God.” Others, observing the wonders of nature with all of its intricacies, say, “We do not see God.” A man, sitting in a stained glass house of worship, listening to a sermon says, “I do not see God.” All of these have adopted the attitude that “Seeing is believing.”
It is true that the ‘visible’ God cannot be seen by man. But, does a man have to see in order to believe? There are many things in life we believe that we have not seen. We accepted the testimony, either written or oral, as proof positive. Why is it we cannot do the same with our belief in God?
Our belief in God is not “Seeing is believing.” It is “Believing is seeing.” Hebrews 11:6 tells us, “…he who comes to God must believe that He is…”
BELIEVE THAT HE IS AND YOU WILL SEE HIM!
