TRUTHS ABOUT GOD

Only God can see everything all at once (Jeremiah 23:23, 24). His perspective is all encompassing (Psalm 139:7-12). I cannot fully understand how one event affects one person, let alone how it affects everyone in the whole interconnected world. God made all the interconnections, His infinite mind does see every cause, every effect, every domino reaction (Psalm 33:11). And He has no problem with the responsibility that sovereignty entails.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:28,29).

Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines,
Though the yield of the olive should fail And the fields produce no food,
Though the flock should be cut off from the fold And there be no cattle in the stalls,
Yet I will exult in the Lord,
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
The Lord God is my strength,
And He has made my feet like hinds’ feet,
And makes me walk on my high places. (Habakkuk 3:17-19).

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights. who does not change like shifting shadows (James 1:17, NIV).
Shadows move and shift with the sun. But God, who created and controls the sun does not change. He is not a shadow, but the real deal. All other relationships will change and even leave, but God never will. (See Hebrews 13:5 NIV)

Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It’s way over our heads. We’ll never figure it out (Romans 11:33, MSG).
