And since viewing it, I have stumbled and stammered for words to describe it — still can’t. A video with pictures from the Hubble Space Telescope and a message from Louis Giglio. A superb presentation setting forth that we have no idea of the HUGENESS of GOD! Obviously, atheists have never looked up. And by refusing to look up, refusing to see what is right there for ALL to see, is it any wonder they are non-responsive? With willful intent, choosing to be blind, is it any wonder the poor man held a sign, God is make believe? Oops. I was wrong. Atheists are not non-responsive, they have chosen to respond to the wrong being. They have responded to the Prince of Darkness rather than the Prince of Peace. Scripture is right!
Psalm 53: 1 The fool has said in his heart,
“There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity;
There is none who does good.
But I can’t leave this devotion like this. I can’t end it here. Not with fools. Not with poor souls holding signs saying God is make believe. We must do more than pity them. More than look upon them as poor benighted souls. And neither are we to fear them or their numbers or their agenda. Our fear meeting their hate will only fan the flames of hell for them. Prayer is needed; prayer for us to exercise the wisdom of God when we encounter them and prayer for them. We can form a prayer for them from Ezekiel 36:
25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness; and from all your idols will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances and do them.
Will we be able to reach all of them? No. I don’t think so. Will we even have a platform or an opportunity to reach them all? Probably not. Are some of them too far gone in their delusions? Probably. But that is not for us to judge. That is ABBA’s call. He knows the heart of every man. (2 Chronicles 6:30 Then hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart You know; for You, You only, know men’s hearts,) Do you personally know a ‘professing make-believer’ – one who is making believe God does not exist? I have one dear to me. His picture sits here on my desk. Intellectually compared to him, textbook-wise, I am a moron. His intellect is ‘off the charts’ so to speak. Yet he is still a professing ‘make-believer’. For all his intellect, he just does not get it. He just does not comprehend: ‘Jesus loves me, this I know for the Bible tells me so’. And this I know, a spiritually condescending tone (attitude) will not evidence to him the love of God. Only God can lead me in this; only God knows his heart; only God knows the way to replace that stoney heart for a heart of flesh. My job is to pray, my job is to love. The Holy Spirit can do both of these things in me. Do you know a ‘professing make-believer’? Whatcha gonna do about it? You can’t be non-responsive, you know?
My love to you all. Be safe. Be holy in your conduct. Enjoy your weekend. We will be traveling. Prayers appreciated.
 Psalm 145:
17 The Lord is [rigidly] righteous in all His ways and gracious and merciful in all His works.
18 The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth.

Another one LORD. Another one giving us a call to action. And we want to act upon this. I do. And I am pretty sure that our IDOKs do too so I am praying for them and for me that we will respond to You, to any prompting You give us here. I pray we will not respond in fear or anger or disgust or in any condescending way but in holy love for Jesus sake and for the sake of every ‘make-believer’ we encounter. I don’t know the man holding the sign, don’t know where he is, don’t know the degree of hardness to his heart but this I do know if there is a spark left You will be gracious and You will speak and so I am counting on You to do that. And ABBA You know the precious one in my family who says You don’t exist. You know I don’t believe him. I think he is mad at You about something and rather than confront You with it, he just says You are not there. I think he thinks You were not ‘there for him’ in the multiple of tragedies that hit his family and so therefore, You must not exist. I know You have not forsaken him and so please continue to woo him LORD and if I can do more than pray just move me to do so. I tell You now by faith and grace I will obey You.
And we pray for our list. All of these here. Lots of stuff here, lots of needs, disease and pain, fears and much more; but, You are able and You are willing to do the best for each in the individual need. I just want them to know that with all their hearts so that is my prayer for them – Your Best and for them to believe You. And we are specifically naming our IDOK Troops. It is so special to pray for them and You have been so gracious to them, to all the families. And we desire to see this grace and protection continue today, keeping them safe in mind and body and spirit.
