God is in control of everthing

There is nothing, nothing imagined, or real God does not determine to be or not. Who do we think we are to consider ourselves originators of creation and law? All that is, or was, or will ever be is first considered, and then established by God.

Are we fit and capable of establishing and governing a nation without first seeking the will and power of God? Hardly! Do we think for even a moment that we can decide who will be our (king) without considering God’s chosen? We can, God has allowed us free will, but it is possible we will regret our candidate if we insist on that one who is not God’s choice. History proves this to be true; consider how the Israelites denied God as their true king, preferring Samuel to select another for them. Enter King Saul, and the historical events that destroyed that nation.

What matters is important! Not only is what we do, or do not do important with regards to including God in our plans, our most personal future depends on how we use our free will. To leave God out of our plans is to be excluded from His!

Consider what God said in (Job 38:2-3) “Who is this that darkens My counsel with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you will answer Me.” And in (vv4-7) “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell Me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely, you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? And also (vv 16-18) “Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death? Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell Me, if you know this.”

The ways of God are beyond our human comprehension. Our ability to understand the power of His wisdom is certainly limited to our fear of God and to obeying His commands. We can’t know the reasons behind our own suffering, or that of others, and God might never explain Himself to us. All the while, God offers us Himself in a very personal way – we can have His presence, comfort and love.

A very anointed and gifted pastor by the unusual name of: Dr. Shadrach Meshach Locklear popularized this important question in his now famous sermon of 1993; “He is my King! I wonder; do you know Him?” Well, do you?

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
