Job 9:5 he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger, who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars; who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea; who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south; who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number. Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him. Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back? Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
1 Timothy 6:16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
Daniel 4:35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?”
Ephesians 1:11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
Romans 9:18-20 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?
Putting our thoughts to God and His awesome mighty power, strength, and wisdom will always fall short of Him. We are limited in this knowledge and understanding. We catch limited glimpses of His, love, grace, mercy, power, and holiness. We tend to question the course of things in our life rather than focus on things of God. Paul said it like this “I have learned to be content in both plenty and want.” When we keep our eyes focused on Jesus Christ rather than the course of things in our life we will continue to grow in both our understanding of Him and that our faith and hope in Him is not in vain. We will grow in our trust of Him to work all things for the good of those who are called according to His purpose. We will grow because our seeking and desire are rewarded with confirming assurance in and through the Holy Spirit. We will grow in our dependence and love for Him. We will grow in our want to honor and glorify Him. We will grow in our want to follow and obey Him.
Certainly, things are going to happen in our lives that give us initial worry, fear, and concern. We can take these thoughts captive and run into the presence of Jesus Christ and never ever worry, fear, or concern ourselves with His perfect love, plan, and purpose.
