When You Disagree with God. Part [2] 06/20/2024 (Morning thought)

Isaiah 53: He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

This is not because God The Father prevented Christ from doing otherwise; He just saw the end result of Christ’s future decision-making, and made a perfect prediction, based upon what He foresaw. This is one of the reasons why we will have to trust God, even if things might not seem to us, to be going in the right direction. For example, God knew in advance, that Joseph’s own brothers would sell him as a slave into Egypt.

It is not something that took God by surprise, and God also saw that Mrs. Potiphar would try to seduce the young man, and try to force him into a rendezvous. But God also foresaw that Joseph resist temptation and be victorious. Thus, with all of that foreknowledge before Him, He goes to work, planning with a surgical accuracy, the overthrow of the kingdom of darkness as it meddled in Joseph’s life experience.

And thus, The Lord was turning every negative in Joseph’s experience, into a positive.  Then, according to God’s perfect plan and timing, when He was ready, someway, somehow Joseph got placed in the second highest seat of authority in the land of Egypt, much to the chagrin of Mr. and Mrs. Potiphar.

Psalms 105: 17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant. 18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron. 19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

When You Disagree with God. Part [1] 06/20/2024 (Evening thought)

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.

The above passage makes us to understand that The  Lord does not think like we mortals do. Our thought patterns and processes are very limited in scope, for we are finite beings, relegated to natural constraints and boundaries, as we endeavor to make decisions, and reach correct conclusions, and only using about ten percent of our mental capacity. God is not like us, for He has unique capabilities at His disposal, such as the singular ability to read the future accurately, with all of the fine details.

And for this reason, He is able to plan and execute His plans with a surgical accuracy that baffles mortal minds. That’s why when the decision was made in heaven, for Jesus to come to this earth to die for our sins, He saw in advance that Christ would be victorious, for He would use His freedom of choice to follow the plan of salvation even though at times the going got rough.

 Hence the reason why all of the prophecies that are written in the Bible concerning Christ, always paint a picture of victory, and never of failure. From Genesis to Revelation, from bruising of the serpent’s head to the last verse in Revelation, every one, without any exception, portray Christ as a winner, and never as a loser.

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 which 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 God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
