WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.”

Exodus 8:19

 There was a debate between an atheist and a theist: Dennis Prager, the theist, debated Professor Jonathan Glover of Oxford University, the atheist. Dennis is Jewish so he argued for the existence of God. At the end of the debate, the atheist argued that even if God existed, it would not make any difference. The debate was about to conclude, but Dennis Prager asked Jonathan Glover this question: He said: “Let’s say that you leave here this evening and you are driving toward Los Angeles and you take the wrong exit. You find yourself in a very dark part of the city. You notice that buildings are run down; there are no street lights and to make matters worse, your car breaks down. You get out of the car and open the hood. After looking at the engine for a while, you aren’t able to tell what the problem is. About that time, 6 rather burly, rough looking men exit a building and notice you. They start walking toward you, and you really can’t see their faces very well because of the darkness. Would it make any difference to you if these men had just left a Bible study?” The atheist admitted that it would make a difference to him. 

Why? Because in everyone’s heart of hearts, they know that God exists (Romans 1:19) and many have seen how the Lord changes lives. Has He changed yours? Read Exodus 7-8 and see how the power of God was undeniable to Pharoah’s magicians. Then, recount God’s power and His work in your life. List 5 great things that the Lord has done for you.
