Where Is Your God?

"Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?"  Psalm 115:2.  The god of the heathen is different than the God of the believer.  The god of the heathen is an idol of things.  This god has no substance nor ability.  This god can do nothing except provide gratification for the moment.  This god provides no answer for the deep questions of life nor does this god provide any help in the difficult times of life.  The idol will not hear and will not answer.  The idol can also be lost in the uncertainty of life.  The God of the believer on the other hand provides assurance and help.  God stands by those who stand by Him.  God will never vanish from the human scene.  He is able to hear and answer.  The heathen wants a god that he can see and embrace physically.  Our God blesses us and provides for us while the heathen must provide for his god.  The god of the heathen can do nothing for him that the heathen cannot do for himself.  This god is material and all material things soon vanish from sight.  The God of the believer endures and provides endurance.  The God of the believer sustains and enables the believer.  The god of the heathen is upon the earth and the God of the believer is in heaven.  Which is yours?
