The Devil Was No Fool!

by John Imler John is an RVchurchesUSA Ambassor and author of It’s Never Too LateAll of us face many issues as we travel this journey called life. However, it seems to me that there is one issue above all others that affects and determines how we deal with all the other issues. That issue is clearly defined in the title of a book by Brad Bright of Campus Crusade: GOD IS THE ISSUE.
It seems that we face this issue more every day as our government and society become more and more intent on denying His very existence or the reliability of the Bible as a way to learn of Him.
If you would deny the existence of God, it seems to me that then you must accept the truth and reliability of the Bible. It gives a description of all who deny God’s very existence with the words, “The fool says in his heart, there is no God” (Psalm 14:1). In Proverbs 18:2 we find a further description of such a person. Even the devil was not a fool. He did not deny the existence of God, he only distorted what God said (Gen. 3:1 and James 2:19). The pagans of old were even wise enough not to deny God’s existence as they made an altar “to an unknown god” (Acts 17:22-23).
While the Bible declares proof of the existence of God in various scriptures, such as Psalms 8 and 19:1-4, I recently learned that science offers additional proof of God’s existence.
A friend recently told of watching a forensic TV program where a conviction was obtained because they were able to match a leaf found in a car with a specific tree at a crime scene. I decided to do some research. I was amazed to hear Dr. Eleanor White, a Biologist with Canadian Natural Resources, declare that like human beings every tree and plant has its own unique DNA. WOW! Just who do you think thought up each of those variations?
So the evidence at hand again points to the fact of God’s existence and of the Bible’s truth and reliability even in the face of some who would still doubt. It asks of you this question in the words of Job 11:7: “Can you fathom the mysteries of God?” I cannot—but I can believe. Will you believe today?
