For May the 18th 2013



5/18/13

Lam 3:38  Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and bad come?

If God is really in control; Why? That is a question that people ask all the time. They come up with a wide array of answers, some of the mains ones are;

 He must not be in control. He is the creator alright, but He created everything and sit laws of nature in place and then stepped back to let us work through life the best we can.

   Or, He would love to help but He really is not all that powerful and some things just get out of His control.

 Or, one that many say is, “I have not done enough good or I have done too much bad for God to bless me. Or God is punishing me for something I did yesterday, or today.” That’s what Jobs comforters accused him of, “Job surely you have sinned” they said, “repent and God will deliver you.”  Even his wife told him to curse God and die, but Job said to her; "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?" Job 2:9&10

  God does all that His plan has laid out for history, and that plan was established before the foundations of the world, and all that He does is for His glory and for your good.

“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” John Pipper
