Psalm 33:4
4 For the word [dabar] of the LORD [Yahovah] is right [yashar]; and all
his works [ma`aseh] are done in truth ['emuwnah]. KJV-Interlinear
4 For the word of the LORD is upright, and
all his work is done in faithfulness. ESV
Man typically complains, ‘Why
does God allow this or that?’ One of the
fundamental premises of the angelic conflict, is mans belief that man can
handle his own existence, by himself.
That man does not need God. That man can solve his own problems. And yet when things go wrong, who gets
blamed?
And the truth of the matter
is, that God does everything in truth, in fairness, in all integrity and
honesty.
Man does everything from
the source of his sin nature. And the
sin nature is anything but truth, but fairness, but integrity or honesty. In fact, man causes most of his own problems,
and there isn’t very much that man can control, anyway. Mans chief habit is complaining.
The fool trusts in
man. The wise trusts in God.
God is reliable. God does
not change His policy with the changing circumstances of life. God is consistent and dependable.
Man runs a world that is ninety
percent poor and one-hundred percent problematic, and yet it is God who sustains
the world despite all of its problems.
Left to his own devices,
life would have ended long ago.
Therefore, the reason for
the phenomenal happiness that comes with Bible doctrine and the advanced
spiritual life, is that it is all based on Bible doctrine, and it relies on God
alone.
The spiritual life does not
depend on circumstances, nor is it dependent on any given situation.
God can work His will
without regard to human means.
