Imagine yourself talking to your best friend. Now imagine him being a nonbeliever. Now your in a middle of a conversation talking about each others lives and at the end of a sentence you say "Isn't God great?" without giving it a second thought. Once you said that there is a long pause........

your friend looks a little offended at first, then he thinks for a bit. then he finally speaks up and says. "you know, i, have heard alot about this God stuff...." "and i was thinking of looking into it but never got to it...." then he asks the question you wish you would never haft to answer in a situation like this. "Who is God?"

This is the where you come in, what would you say? now this is one of the BEST situations you could get in. say he just asked "Who is God?" or he wasn't you best-friend just a friend. or say he was a compleat stranger??? would you answer the question? or ignore him and try and bring it up some other time. or lie and say you don't know who he is?  

this is a very important thing to think about for ALL christians.

2 Samuel 22:3-50 (New International Version

 ³ my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
       my shield and the horn of my salvation.
       He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—
       from violent men you save me.

 ⁴ I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
       and I am saved from my enemies.

 ⁵ "The waves of death swirled about me;
       the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.

 ⁶ The cords of the grave  coiled around me;
       the snares of death confronted me.

 ⁷ In my distress I called to the LORD;
       I called out to my God.
       From his temple he heard my voice;
       my cry came to his ears.

 ⁸ "The earth trembled and quaked,
       the foundations of the heavens ^[c] shook;
       they trembled because he was angry.

 ⁹ Smoke rose from his nostrils;
       consuming fire came from his mouth,
       burning coals blazed out of it.

 ¹⁰ He parted the heavens and came down;
       dark clouds were under his feet.

 ¹¹ He mounted the cherubim and flew;
       he soared  on the wings of the wind.

 ¹² He made darkness his canopy around him—
       the dark  rain clouds of the sky.

 ¹³ Out of the brightness of his presence
       bolts of lightning blazed forth.

 ¹⁴ The LORD thundered from heaven;
       the voice of the Most High resounded.

 ¹⁵ He shot arrows and scattered the enemies ,
       bolts of lightning and routed them.

 ¹⁶ The valleys of the sea were exposed
       and the foundations of the earth laid bare
       at the rebuke of the LORD,
       at the blast of breath from his nostrils.

 ¹⁷ "He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
       he drew me out of deep waters.

 ¹⁸ He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
       from my foes, who were too strong for me.

 ¹⁹ They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
       but the LORD was my support.

 ²⁰ He brought me out into a spacious place;
       he rescued me because he delighted in me.

 ²¹ "The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
       according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

 ²² For I have kept the ways of the LORD;
       I have not done evil by turning from my God.

 ²³ All his laws are before me;
       I have not turned away from his decrees.

 ²⁴ I have been blameless before him
       and have kept myself from sin.

 ²⁵ The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
       according to my cleanness  in his sight.

 ²⁶ "To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
       to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

 ²⁷ to the pure you show yourself pure,
       but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

 ²⁸ You save the humble,
       but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.

 ²⁹ You are my lamp, O LORD;
       the LORD turns my darkness into light.

 ³⁰ With your help I can advance against a troop ;
       with my God I can scale a wall.

 ³¹ "As for God, his way is perfect;
       the word of the LORD is flawless.
       He is a shield
       for all who take refuge in him.

 ³² For who is God besides the LORD ?
       And who is the Rock except our God?

 ³³ It is God who arms me with strength 
       and makes my way perfect.

 ³⁴ He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
       he enables me to stand on the heights.

 ³⁵ He trains my hands for battle;
       my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

 ³⁶ You give me your shield of victory;
       you stoop down to make me great.

 ³⁷ You broaden the path beneath me,
       so that my ankles do not turn.

 ³⁸ "I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
       I did not turn back till they were destroyed.

 ³⁹ I crushed them completely, and they could not rise;
       they fell beneath my feet.

 ⁴⁰ You armed me with strength for battle;
       you made my adversaries bow at my feet.

 ⁴¹ You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
       and I destroyed my foes.

 ⁴² They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
       to the LORD, but he did not answer.

 ⁴³ I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth;
       I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.

 ⁴⁴ "You have delivered me from the attacks of my people;
       you have preserved me as the head of nations.
       People I did not know are subject to me,

 ⁴⁵ and foreigners come cringing to me;
       as soon as they hear me, they obey me.

 ⁴⁶ They all lose heart;
       they come trembling from their strongholds.

 ⁴⁷ "The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!
       Exalted be God, the Rock, my Savior!

 ⁴⁸ He is the God who avenges me,
       who puts the nations under me,

 ⁴⁹ who sets me free from my enemies.
       You exalted me above my foes;
       from violent men you rescued me.

 ⁵⁰ Therefore I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations;
       I will sing praises to your name.

Think About It!
