Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
In the experiences of some Christians, persons may be able to point back to times when God’s blessing rested very heavily upon them, but for one reason or another the blessing evaporates into thin air after a while. Therefore, the question is asked by persons: Why did God bless such and such in the first place, if He knew in advance of the outcome?
Solomon then began his tenure as a faithful steward as he managed the material blessings in accordance with the wisdom that is born of God. But, after the dawn of great opportunity, like many persons from the Great depression, Solomon went on to hide his talents in the ground, and instead of multiplication, subtraction took hold of him, and those under his jurisdiction.
Some may be wondering what all of these lessons have to do with persons who are living on the brink of eternity, and who are preparing for the promised latter rain? The information, resources, and opportunities God has granted to His people are intended to bring us to a state of maturity in Christ, where persons will become well balanced in development of character, for it is God’s will, that the subjects of His grace be found faithful both in faith and practice.
Isaiah 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
