Subject: God allowing things in our lives |
Bible Note: I'm not sure why you responded they way you did. My post clearly puts the blame on us as we are all guilty and it indicated all Glory should go to God. I think the differences between me and you are that I recognize God's sovereignty as unmatched and complete. While you seem to think we can act outside His will and desire in a manner that would assume His authority and control. Sorry brother, but sadly, you and many others are mistaken. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. And you are wrong on another point, if God does not want tragedy to strike, do you actually believe it will. That doesn’t sound to me that you take God’s sovereignty at His word. 1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure. You should read closely Hebrews 11 and pay particular attention to 35 – 40 and then again before you comment further. “which shall we most admire, the wickedness of human nature, that is capable of perpetrating such cruelties on fellow creatures, or the excellency of divine grace, that is able to bear up the faithful under such cruelties, and to carry them safely through all?” Matthew Henry God allows the suffering my friend, but that doesn’t mean He will not carry us through it and snatch a few more on the way. Nothing happens outside of God’s will, absolutely nothing. And try as you may, you will never prove otherwise. And I’m surely comforted by that fact, that a loving, gracious, saving God is in full control of the universe He created. You asked whether or not God’s word is good enough. Apparently you need to take your own advice brother. Stand in His grace, WOS |
