The invention of computers has created a global village where information access is almost everywhere. Computers process data based on logical decisions that have been programmed in them.
Our God we serve on the other hand doesn’t work with what is apparent in our human understanding. The bible reminds us that God’s thoughts and ways are way higher than ours; just like the heavens are from earth (Isaiah 55:9)
The bible is full of examples of situations in which one would assume God was acting contrary to His directives. These actions prove that sometimes we may not understand God’s intentions if we look at them from the human perspective.
When God told Abraham to sacrifice his only son; whom he had been born to him in his old age promise given by God; it may have appeared to be against God’s command of ‘Thou shalt not kill (Exodus 20:13). In hindsight, we now understand that it was a test on Abraham’s faith to whom he trusted (Hebrews 11:17).
Job who was regarded as perfect, upright, and one who feared God underwent suffering that usually befalls those who go against God’s word. His family and wealth are destroyed. His own wife told him to curse God and die (Job 2:9). Job, however, through his suffering, acknowledges that his redeemer liveth and in the end, God rewards him with a double portion of what he had owned before and the same number of children he had before.
The ultimate example is the price paid for our sins through Jesus Christ. One through whom the world was created and had walked the journey with humanity from creation and in whom there was no sin died for us so that we may have a share in the life that he deserved. We now have hope and the anchor of the soul. One in whom our sins were washed white as snow and in whom we now have hope on the resurrection day.
In all his doings, our God always has good intentions towards us. He will only rest after securing our well-being. God sent his son to die for us on the cross so that we may have life in abundance. We should trust in his ways and have faith in the things we have not seen. “You may not know how; You may not know when, But He’ll do it again.
