It Don’t Make No Sense…
Right now to some it doesn't make sense at all to trust
God. The innocent are being murdered live on television; and connecting the
dots of pointillism, it’s still hard to see the bigger picture. God’s wisdom tends to be contrary to how “we”
would think to resolve a problem.
When it makes all the sense in the world to take actions
into your own hands and take up arms to protect you and yours; God’s word ensures us that vengeance is his, and that forgiveness – even of the one oppressing
or even killing of the people’s lives,
hopes and dreams will be rectified in due time and in due season.
Pharaoh and his army were too great for the people of Israel
to have fought against in hand-to-hand battle; they would have been outnumbered,
out-manned and out-weaponized; and the way God brought them out, by his mighty hand was the way that it had to
happen; with the least amount of casualties and with God getting all of the Glory. The word Pharaoh means: Great House. And there have been a myriad of great houses that have risen and fallen
and quite possibly the great White House
will be next, if it doesn't let God’s people
go…
Being brought over during the Middle Passage in chains and
never to return to their homeland again, many slaves endured deplorable and
subhuman conditions to their masters.
They were in a foreign land and subject to people who didn't speak their
language, and made to suffer. Had they
wanted to escape and return to their native homeland, they had the Atlantic
Ocean to cross, not a Red Sea; so the only way out was to venture through. It’s never the size of the problem; it’s the
trust in the God of the problem that makes the way through.
Once again they were a people who had to trust God even when
it didn't make any sense.
Now fast-forward
to the year circa 2016 and as long as this earth remains, there will be
tribulations and those tribulations worketh our patience, and our patience
experience, and our experience produces our Hope.
It doesn't have to make sense to
those that believe – we just have to BELIEVE!
