Bible Question: WHY DO YOU THINK GOD DID NOT LEAVE IT TO THE MAN TO DECIDE WHO HIS PARTNER WOULD BE? |
Bible Answer: Greetings SWAZ! God does everything perfectly. He provided man with the very best of His creation. (Gen 2:18-25) Throughout God's Word we see the result of man's choice. (Is 53:6) As a side note, an excellent resource is a book called "When God Writes Your Love Story" - this addresses the very issue you have raised - why it is important to let God do the choosing. Of course those of us who chose on our own must be willing to accept the consequences of that choice. "The backslider in heart will have his fill of his own ways . . . A wise man is cautious and turns away from evil,but a fool is arrogant and careless." Proverbs 14,16 (The following statement is NOT meant to be inflammatory, but it is an observation than many people miss!) God is "pro-choice." He gives us the freedom to choose - but the options are limited: His Way or our way. Isn't it comforting to know that God can make a "silk purse out of a sow's ear" though? What an awesome God we serve! Blessings, Mommapbs |
