“LOOK TO THE HEAVENS AND SEE; AND BEHOLD THE CLOUDS – THEY ARE HIGHER THAN YOU.” JOB 35:5 “FOR AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS, AND MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS.” ISA. 55:9
Do you believe God when He tells you that He knows better what you need, than you know yourself? Do you believe that God is still in control even with a Socialist President, and a dying economy? Can you believe still God? Would you still believe in Him if you lost your job or your wife or a child or grandchild?
Is our God not bigger than tragedy? Is He not bigger than the foolish choices of men? Is He not bigger than all these things? Is His grace not sufficient even through these times?
If we have no hope larger than the word of man; we have no hope! If our confidence in God is shaken by calamity brought on by sinful man than we have no confidence. I believe in the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; these are God-given rights and I believe God Himself shall defend them, but even if He doesn’t; I will continue to worship Him.
All things dead and dying are the direct result of sin. Light and Life are found only in Christ. When sin entered God’s creation so did death; when Christ took your place on the cross He defeated death, hell and the grave and opened the doors to eternal life with Him.
All that we know here shall pass way. All that is present shall be done away with. Everything that has ever been, and all that is yet to be until the coming of Christ, shall pass away. Only our God is eternal, only our God is perfect, only our God knows best in every situation and so we must; in spite of the crumbling world around us, place our hope not in man, who will always fail, but in our God who never will. Amen!
