That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. (Matthew 5:45 KJV)
We cannot feel that God is real, because His actions are so amoral. We said, "The LORD will not do good or evil. (Zephaniah 1:12)" We see the wicked prospering (Psalm 73:4-12) and the good suffering. We feel that we are doing good in vain (Psalm 73:13-14). So how can we see God in this world?
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV)
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. (Psalm 100:4 KJV)
Look for the blessing of the Lord in everything. Count our blessings, name them one by one and we will be surprised to see what the Lord had done for us.
Next, examine yourselves in the light of the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5,6,7), especially the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12). Use Matthew 5:21-28 to derive the principle of motivation for the Ten Commandments. You will see that you are really a wicked sinner far from the will of God.
