Shalom,

Two of my many favorite portions of Scripture are found in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today! The first is found in Psalm 53:1a:

The [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. 

When I discovered this verse, it gave me the answer to 'atheism'! The Bible tells us this in Romans 1:20-21:

20 For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification], 21 Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.

There is NO SUCH THING as an atheist! Every person KNOWS that there IS a God, some simply do not want to acknowledge Him! Keep sharing the Gospel! The seed of God's Word that you  sow will continue to work in their hearts long after the conversation is over! AMEN! The other favorite of mine is found in Exodus 15:1-2:
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord, saying, I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider or its chariot has He thrown into the sea. The Lord is my Strength and my Song, and He has become my Salvation; this is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

God showed Himself FAITHFUL and STRONG when He led the Israelites OUT of Egypt! He delivered them from the hands of their enemies, and He will do no less for us! In fact, we, as born again believers, have an even BETTER Covenant (Hebrews 8:6) with God than they did! OURS is sealed in the Blood of JESUS! AMEN! Refuse to listen to the lies of the enemy who will try every tactic to get you OUT of faith and into fear! He does it through your thought life, so cast down those thoughts, worries, cares and fears that are contrary to what the Word of God says about you , and promises to you! His Word is TRUTH (John 17:17) and He WILL confirm it in our lives when we declare it by faith! AMEN! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "Real Love":



Shalom in Him!
