Demands of Man

During a discussion in a philosophy class in college a student speculated angrily, “Maybe if God came to earth, I might believe.” That student would more than likely be like the Pharisees. “Although he had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him” (John 12:37).

If we honestly ask God to reveal himself to us, he will. But he is never coerced into doing things man’s way. He will reveal himself in his own way, in his own time. Not because he is like rebellious man who insists on his own way, but because he is loving and knows precisely what we need and when we need it.
