Sometimes people have told me of someone they know who is a very smart atheist. They don’t believe in God or in the Bible. If asked, and if I can, I agree to talk to most of them. You see they don’t believe in God while I don’t believe that there are true atheists. So they say there is no God but deep down they know that is a lie. They may have pushed down their belief in God and covered that truth with grass and dirt, but it is there, alive, breathing and powerful in the grave they hid it in. When they are alone, sometimes in the still of the night, they fear that it will rise from the dirt and they will have to face it, by themselves.
The fool makes the choice to convince himself to believe there is no God, or to say that they believe that. They have turned against their own God given good sense. What they know is true, what they always knew to be true, they deny and foolishly reject, all the while knowing the living buried thing. They make a conscious choice till they believe their own lie. They have intellect to know better, they must purposely and persistently and daily work hard to not keep covering what is alive and will change their lives. They keep throwing dirt but the truth kees rising. At night they can hear its voice, but they stuff their ears about the truth what is buried. What they knew and know is true. They fight this till they are overcome and repent from their lie or unto death. That is foolishness. Why should they die when the could live forever in the Truth? A stupid choice from people who reject their own intelligence to run from life and the life giver, so they die. No, God will not condemn them to eternal death, but they will insist upon it for themselves. Love and pray for these. The Lord knows that they know not what they do.
Psalm 150:6 – Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
Micah 7:7 – But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will Hear me.
Micah 6:8 – He has shown you, Oh man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you, but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Numbers 6:24-26 – The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26 The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
Psalm 91 – One who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will lodge in the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust!”3 For it is He who rescues you from the net of the trapper and from the deadly plague. 4 He will cover you with His pinions, And under His wings you may take refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and wall. 5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night, Or of the arrow that flies by day;6 Of the plague that stalks in darkness, Or of the destruction that devastates at noon. 7 A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But it shall not approach you. 8 You will only look on with your eyes And see the retaliation against the wicked. 9 For you have made the Lord, my refuge, The Most High, your dwelling place. 10 No evil will happen to you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. 11 For He will give His angels orders concerning you, To protect you in all your ways. 12 On their hands they will lift you up, So that you do not strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will walk upon the lion and cobra, You will trample the young lion and the serpent. 14 “Because he has loved Me, I will save him; I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name. 15 He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. 16 I will satisfy him with a long life, and show him My salvation.”

Oh my Lord, my God, my Love,
It is You who is my Joy.
You are my Morning Joy that wakes
Me with a smile.
And You who cause me to me to want to breathe.
Though there are some I can trust,
It is only you whom my trust rests upon.
You my Lord and God,
“It” is You, on You where my rest is abides.
You my God, You my Love, You my Rest,
Thank you my Lord!
Your voice is a sweet serenade within me,
Lord God, I am tuned to Your voice.
I live in Your promises.
My rest is in the covenant You gave to me.
In Your promises I am safe,
There, and here, with you.
They are the same in Your presence
My Lord, my God, my Brother.
Yes Lord, You are my refuge
And no harm shall overcome me.
Truly I desire Your will.
So even if it hurts,
Joy and laughter are always,
In Your will.
Whatever knocks on my door,
You have screened and filtered.
So I will rest in Your will,
Surely I gladly receive both hard and easy.
I will receive both from You,
And thank and praise You,
For what I understand
And for what I don’t understand.
I praise You my Lord, my God
For all in my life I praise You!
You are my Refuge and my Fortress,
My God in whom I trust.
