God in perfect control!

(Psalms 135:6) “Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.”

This thought will need a few entries to be understood…

There is much in today’s societies that looks to challenge God’s sovereignty (power and rule); on the one hand the masses acknowledge that a greater power exists and yet with the same breathe they believe him to be whoever they will him to be, or she if that is a better fit. “Mother nature” is often coined in common dialog. Come and let us reason together; is there anything random when it comes to scientific evidence concerning so many facets of the planet earth and its surrounding sphere? Does not the sun rise and set precisely as God has ordained? Of course it does, there is nothing random about it. What about the seas and their borders, there are no dam wall holding back the waters. God has commanded and so even the waters obey His voice; “Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.” (Psalms 135:6): - “Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb, when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors, and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed'? "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place.” (Job 38:8-12)  

 

Of late I have witnessed a TV series called “Flash Forward”, a story based on fate and how some try to change the events of the future. Man’s attempt to reason it all out and manipulate the inevitable. Do you think this is possible?

My mind has been extremely active considering “forgiveness” in conjunction to God’s “sovereignty”. Without revisiting this topic, which in turn leaves us with the obvious conclusion, that God, the Only true God, the God who exists and the One who rules the entire universe, the creator of the heavens and the earth, who in fact proved to the world that Jesus Christ the Lord is in fact the only true Messiah. How was this done, God rose Him from the dead and there are many witnesses to this truth. It is this Jesus who now has given mankind a life line that through His death, burial and resurrection left a path open for many to make it to heaven; there is however only one way to God the Father and that is through His beloved son the Lord Jesus Christ, every other message is a lie!

Although I am persuaded with all my heart, it is not only my opinion, but the Bibles teachings make this finding very clear. It leaves everyone with a choice; they will either accept or reject Christ as the only true Messiah. This message is open to every ethnic group across the globe, regardless of one’s upbringing. But chose you must!

With that said can a dead man act to a command? Obviously a rhetorical question that we all know the answer too, it would be impossible! So unless God gives the dead life, they remain dead. It is an act of God. We are called to repentance and we will never find it unless we are given life, it is only when we find life that we are able to respond. Let us not over think it as it is simple; without a spiritual birth, we have no beginning spiritually. We are aware of our natural birth because we live and so is it with our spiritual existence. Did we choose our natural birth? Obviously not! Are we aware of our natural lives if we live, obviously! Did we chose our own spiritual birth, how could we of, if we were dead spiritually, but now that we live spiritually are we aware of our spiritual lives? Yes! It is the goodness of God that leads a man to repentance, never forget it! It has nothing to do with the will of man. God is sovereign, from beginning to end; is man therefore responsible for his own life, yes we have all been subjected to the laws of the land, break them and we will pay the price if caught. Is man responsible for His spiritual life? Yes! The same principle applies. But what if a man is never quicken spiritually? How can a dead man be judged?

I have run out of time, food for thought then…

Until tomorrow then,
