God Is, So What's Next

There is a song that includes the words:

"God is the joy and the strength of my life"
"He promised to keep me, never to leave me"
"God is my all and all."


What a great awareness to recognize what should already be obvious. Okay, so God is. What's next? What does God's existence have to do with you?

  • Are you a better person because of God's existence?
  • Have you stopped doing those things you used to do because He lives?
  • Are you better able to forgive those who have wronged you because of your understanding of the "isness" of God?
  • Does your knowledge of God allow you to sincerely apologize to someone when you have messed up?
  • Are other people better off because of the reality of God in your heart?

Unless the fact that "God is" has a positive effect on you, on your singleness and on the people you interact with, the existence of God is an empty philosophical concept. Each day we have the opportunity to affirm the reality of a living sovereign God by the way we live. In fact, through our behaviors and the ways we treat people, we answer the question, "God is, so what is next?"
