Do you not know, have you not heard?

I woke this AM and as I was about to sit to do my devotional, the phrase above kept going through my head.... "Do you not know, have you not heard?"  I mean, I'm pretty sure that phrase is in the Bible and I believe it is a statement somewhere which applies to the heralding of God and his Kingdom, but, why is it in my head?

I go to BibleGateway.com and put in the phrase "not know, heard" and up comes Isaiah 40:21 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

and

Isaiah 40:28 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.

and it continues....

29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.  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.

As a seasoned Believer, it is difficult to harken back to when I did not believe.  But, I can still remember, somewhat.  Yet, I still ask the question in my head, many times; "How can we not recognize Him?"  "How can we not acknowledge Him and His creation?"  "Why do we deny and run away from His calling?" 

It is so clear to me that God is real and living within us.  He is the one that allows each of us to have, even, a glimpse of His eternity.  It is He that is prompting us to love, to express compassion, to model good behavior.  Where is God, many say. 

He is here.  Russ Lee wrote an incredible song, I believe it's titled; "God is here." 

God is here, yeah!!

Love you...
