Does God Ever Fail?

It's On My Heart...July 2010

I felt sad for a driver recently when I saw a bumper sticker on his car that said "All God's fail!" Bumper stickers are placed on cars because people identify with the statement or they want to be identified with the logo, such as SF Giants. They promote their team.. Sometimes it strikes a chord with what they believe. Other times it is simply funny. But what would lead a person to advertise on his car that "All God's Fail?"

People today joke about "the gods." When sick, people say they knelt before the porcelain god. In sports, it is not uncommon to hear someone mention the baseball god, or the weather god. People know that these are not true gods. It must be confusing for the seeker of truth to wade through all of the religions and gods. How are they to know the difference between a man-made god and the God who made man in His image?

The Bible says a lot about God. For instance, the Bible says that God is so faithful that He is like the sun rising every day. God keeps His promises, for He always does what He says. God provides just what we need when we need it. God made all things that exist and holds it all together. God isn't quiet, for He speaks through His Word, nature, and by design, in our inner man. For even in our conscience we know the difference of right and wrong. Where did this come from except that there is One who is Absolute right and good. In addition, man has an innate sense that God exists for even the atheist will cry out to God in a moment of great need. The Bible says a lot about God, especially how to find Him. The Bible says that if we seek God we will find Him if we seek Him with all our heart.

Lots of things fail, but not God. Refrigerators fail. Cars fail to start or fail to stop. People fail. But God never fails. If you are going through a tough time, lean on God. If you have an impossible circumstance, trust Him. If things are going great, praise Him. For God is an awesome God, for He never fails.
