” How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways.” Romans 11:33
” For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory.” Romans 11:36
I doubt that there is a person who is reading today’s blog that hasn’t tried to understand the ways of God. I know that I have. Even though I have no chance at really understanding why he allows things to happen as they do, I continue to try hard to put the pieces together, but I always fail. Romans 11:33 tells us directly that it is impossible to understand his decisions and his ways. We must never forget, as Romans 11:36 reminds us, all things (1) come from him; (2) exist by his power; and (3) are intended for his glory. Who is in control? Our God in heaven is in total control. We must remember that this is his plan and not ours. All things happen the way they do so that our Lord God will be glorified. We may not understand why we didn’t get that promotion at work or why some get ill, and others don’t. Why do you and I live in the greatest country in the world and others live in countries where people exist and not really live. God has the whole picture before him and not just a piece of the picture. He created the strategy, he created the world, and he created you and me to be in his great plan. Have you ever wondered why you were born in this age? We were born at this time because we have an assignment to fulfill on behalf of our God in heaven. It doesn’t matter whether you are rich or poor, white, brown, black or yellow, we all have a mission to complete if we have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior. We must stay in complete obedience to his Word and live our lives as he tells us. We must listen to the Holy Spirit and do as he directs. Our assignments come from prayer, meditation in his Word and glorifying him daily. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
