How can I share with a friend who does not know God? How can I ‘prove’ God?

We can’t prove what God has deemed an act of faith. But we can reveal God in the everyday – and every night – experiences that we all share. It is up to God to give the insight, desire, and faith to seek and to discover Himself. But we can offer our own appreciation for the beauty of the earth and of the universe, as a gift to help a friend to ‘see’ God.

Look at a full moon. How can anyone doubt God when looking at the stars. Some will. But with those whom God has chosen to know Him, and whom He has put in our path, with those we have the mighty signs and wonders of the universe to share.

Our common ground is the very ground we walk upon, the sky we live beneath, the sun that always rises in the east and the moon that is our light by night.

Ready: Share what you see and how you see it, with those whom you love, and allow your awareness and appreciation to be your witness.

Set: Gaze at the universe. Allow its beauty to guide and encourage your faith and your boldness.

Go: Set before your thoughts your friends and family who do not believe. Pray for them, and be ready to give an account of your walk with the LORD.

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear” (1Peter 3:15)

Creation is Grand… isn’t it? For the benefit of those who don’t recognize creation, we may start by calling it natural beauty, to avoid unnecessary debate. How do we enable people with little concept of the all powerful nature of a loving God see creation as we see it?

Ready: It’s time to share our perspective of God’s natural creation. Yes, He created it supernaturally, but human beings experience it naturally. Let’s reach out from where others are and enable them to discover for themselves the awesomeness of creation.

Set: The world has tremendous natural beauty. We see it in the sky, earth and sea. When I look up at the clouds and imagine the handiwork of God, making rain form in fluffy pillows of unusual shapes, I experience wonder! When I look at the stars at night, or the shimmering moon, I am sometimes dumbfounded at their beauty. Then there is the sunrise, and the shining day, or the setting of it to consider…. and that’s just the sky! What about the waters, the earth and vegetation, and the marvelous array of living creatures. These are all proof of God’s creative hand. Romans chapter 1 is full of God’s downloading of our natural understanding of His creation. But many friends today don’t see things this way. How do we engage in a way that will help them to see things as we see them? It isn’t through debate, as personally stimulating as that may be for some of us. It is through the awesomeness of God Himself. 1. Tap into God’s natural beauty yourself. Find a specific place – even if it is simply a piece of sky – to share with another person. 2. Pray. With whom is God asking you to share this place and experience? 3. Take this friend who does not believe, to this naturally beautiful ‘place’. 4. Ask them what they see and experience in nature. Just listen, tapping into their perspective.

Go: Prayerfully consider who to share God’s earth with today and invite them to join you for a ‘walk’.
