If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? This famous philosophical question is intended to raise questions about the knowledge of reality… to me it just tries to deny a basic truth. Whether you, me or anyone else is there doesn’t change truth. There are noises that are never heard, just like there are thoughts in my head that are never spoken (thank God).
For example, God is glorious whether I recognize Him as such or not. Like a beautiful sunset that I don’t wake up in time to see – just because I wasn’t watching doesn’t mean it was any less spectacular. That would be like assuming there is no sun because the sky is full of clouds.
I spent the first 30 years of my life trying to avoid Him, but He was still God, still great, still awesome. I was the problem - He was always God and always glorious and worthy of my awe and praise – I just wasn’t awake to see Him.
Don’t miss the beauty before you – there is a God in heaven who is your Creator and your Savior.
