Psalm 33:4

Copyright Ó 2014 J. Neely
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.
