’’Take nothing on its
looks. Take everything on
evidence. There’s no
better rule!” wrote
Charles Dickens in
Great Expectations.
Years later, a fictional
detective, Sgt. Joe Friday
became famous for the
phrase, “Just the facts,
Ma’am. All I want are the facts.” If there were no facts there could
be no reliable evidence.
’’Shout for joy to God, all the earth...Say to God, ‘How awesome
are Your deeds! So great is Your power...All the earth bows down
to You,”’ wrote David.
Everywhere David looked, he saw God's “awesome deeds.” And
these “deeds” provided all the “evidence” he, and those who met
with him in worship, needed to have to believe in the God of Israel.
These “awesome deeds” can be seen in His-story: God judging
and punishing those who were disobedient to Him; those who broke
His laws and disregarded and disobeyed His commandments. They
paid the price. His-story also includes examples of His countless
blessings and unending love, mercy and grace that He graciously
blest those who trusted Him. He protected them and provided for
their every need as long as they were obedient to His Word and
His ways. And He still does.
The Bible contains all of the evidence that is needed for us to see
the “awesome deeds” of God. In His-story He gives us “evidence”
and “facts” that are undeniable.
Christian faith is a faith established on truths that cannot be denied.
With David we can “Shout for joy!”
