My Pondering
đ âŚto a knownGodâŚwho knows all đ and Whom loves each of us!
Amazing grace!
Amazing omnipresence!
Amazing God who wants to known and know you too!
I really like the saying Pres Reagan made popular, “Trust and Verify”.
I like even better to insert the work “Know” in front; “Know, Trust and Verify”.
God wants us to know Him
God wants us to trust Him
God want us to verify His Word,
His promises and His power to the world.
Some trust in chariots and others in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psalms 20:7
This is what the LORD says: âCursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes the flesh his strength and turns his heart from the LORD.
Jeremiah 17:5
Trust in the LORD and do good;
Psalms 37:3-8
dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
4Delight yourself in the LORD,
and He will give you the desires of your heart.
5Commit your way to the LORD;
trust in Him, and He will do it.
6He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn,
your justice like the noonday sun
Yes, He is all that and then more awesome than we can even possibly imagine!
It’s hard to understand why a loving, all powerful God would all people, sometimes caring, serving, good people to experience tragedy, pain and
terrible incidents. The world is full of suffering. Though I trust Him, I don’t always understand.
I just had similar conversation with a non-believer the other day.
He asked, “How can a loving, all powerful God allow or cause all this bad stuff to happen?”
That’s a tough one.
How would you answer him?
