It Don't Make No Sense!

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!
