There is not
one thing that God has ever done that was done the way man
would do it. Not only that, but the work of God always exudes a glory that can be seen by those who are willing to do things God's way. This is rare is because our flesh needs to have everything in place ahead of time, run things smoothly, and end with a result that will meet with approval. Why couldn't the armies of heaven have gone ahead of the Israelites and pounded down all the enemy inhabitants so that the children of Israel could just stand by and cheer? Why so much trouble and bloodshed and running around? No one knows. But it was God's way, and His is never the easiest road we can think of. Joshua, Gideon, David, and others all came to recognize God and to obey Him because of the things they had to go through. The Lord treats us like treasured children, not Ming vases, and we know and see Him as we battle. Stay in, take courage, and do not give up. He is a Lord with acute hearing, a loving heart, and He is merciful beyond our conception. Just because it isn't going without a hitch doesn't mean it isn't the Lord's battle.~ It is! |
