God Is and He Is The Rewarder Of Those Who Diligently Seek Him I'm writing this essay in October 2024 for a contest on WdC called "Grill a Christian". This month's prompt is " what does it mean to you to say that God exists or does not exist?" My relationship with God is the most important thing in my life so for me the prompt becomes simply: "What does it mean to you to say that God exists?" The Bible says that in order to please God, we must believe that He is. There came a point in my life years ago when I had to decide what I personally believed about God as He (and His Only Begotten Son) is presented in the Bible. As I weighed the facts, I made the decision to choose to believe. Over the years since then, I have joined the father who prayed "Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief". Today, I still choose to believe. What has happened as a result? So much! More than I can say here. The Bible also says "God will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is staid on Him." I know that peace—the peace that passes understanding. It is a peace and contentment that is independent of life's circumstances. As I walk through life on this mortal coil, I experience all the things common to man: birth, death, joy and heartache. Through it all, I can turn to God for comfort. I can not imagine facing trials and tribulation without Him. I don't even want to. As I wrote in "My Psalm"  , in the darkest of my nights, He has consistently been the brightest light. I can sing, "How I've proved Him o'er and o'er."Can I prove God exists? No. But I believe that, as I choose to believe, He consistently proves His existence to me. He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. May that I be counted in that group. May I diligently seek Him today and always. God is and He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
