choose not to believe in God, He can not deny himself! He is in everything that
we do, He is everywhere that we go, He is in everything that we see, He is in
everything that we hear, He is in everything that we smell, He is in everything
that we taste. He is God! "If we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he
cannot disown himself." 2 Timothy 2:13
As God spoke to Moses His Prophet and Deliverer
Deuteronomy 5:29-6:3 "O that there were such an heart in them, that they
would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with
them, and with their children for ever! Go say to them, Get you into your tents
again.But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the
commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them,
that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. Ye shall
observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not
turn aside to the right hand or to the left.Ye shall walk in all the ways which
the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well
with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD
your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go
to possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his
statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy
son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear
therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and
that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised
thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.(KJV)

Psalms 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
Isaiah 40:28-31
28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
