Trust in Yahweh |
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, And don't lean on your own
understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will direct your
paths. -- Proverbs 3:5,6 -- World English Bible translation.
Using the best judgment that we have, believing that Yahweh will guide us so
that we choose aright, we must step forward on the road we have elected, not
hesitatingly, not tremblingly, not fearful lest all sorts of untoward things
may happen to us, but confidently, assured that he will guard us from harm.
And when we have taken the step, perhaps gone a little distance down the
road, we shall see. Most times 'we shall see that this is indeed the right
and proper road for us to take. Sometimes we shall see that the other would
have been wiser. Sometimes it may be necessary for us to retrace our steps.
What then? Has God failed to guide us? No. He wanted us to have that
experience. The necessity for retracing our steps, the necessity for
admitting that we were wrong in our decision will develop that spirit of
humility so necessary to Christ's followers. Or it may be that it will be
unnecessary for us to retrace our steps. The road, after winding a little
way will be found to turn back into the other path, and while we may have
lost a little time, Yahweh will have given us experiences on the path we
took, not to be gotten in any other way. In all our ways let us acknowledge
him, and he shall direct our path. - Prow. 3:5, 6. -- Based on the words of:
P. L. Read, The Herald of Christ's Kingdom, January 1952, from the article,
"Have Faith in God."
In service of Jesus and his God,
Ronald

What baloney! Even the most devout believers are robbed, raped, conned and
murdered. You call that guarding them from harm?

I am posting this for any child of God who might be tempted to turn away
from faith in God due the posts of those without faith in God.
God does not promise to protect his children from all these things mentioned
above, which affect only the outward man, not the inward man. The protection
from harm is in regard to spiritual harm, not that nothing untoward in the
flesh will happen to those who belong to him. Regardless of what may happen,
however, God is able to use all these things for his children's ultimate
good, for the perfecting of faith. "When he has tried (purified) me, I shall
come forth like gold." (Job 23:10) "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of
silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi (representing the joint-heirs
with Christ), and refine them as gold and silver." (Malachi 3:5) "It is for
discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with sons, for what son is
there whom his father doesn't discipline?" -- Hebrews 12:7.
Indeed, all that is happening in the world is being allowed by God for the
ultimate good of mankind, although this is not understood by the world at
the present time. Even the consecrated child of God most often does not
understand why all these things are happening, but God has revealed the
general reasons for his allowing evil things to happend in the scriptures of
the Holy Bible. But it is as the apostle Paul said, we, who children of God,
also groan along with the world. (Romans 8:14-24) Only those who seek that
wisdom from Yahweh as a for a hidden treasure (Proverbs 2:1-5; Matthew 7:7;
13:44; 1 Corinthians 1:21; 2:7; James 1:5), however, will be able to
appreciate what is revealed by means of God's holy spirit in the scriptures,
and that to the extent that the child of God is ready to receive what is
there.

This is completely true.
According to bible history, the jews were over 200 years in slavery, they
also thought that God had forgotten them. Since 2000 years, devotion, does
not give evidential protection.
We are given the chance to show faith, just as faithfull Job, did not know
why things happened to him.

But if I'm honest and when I look back, it is mostly if not
prevalently (maybe completely but I still don't see) that I walked
away from Lord, rather than that I was faithful as Job and delievered
cruely to the enemy.

In other words He has devised an ingenious system of guidance
and protection that's indistinguishable from random chance.
Why? If that's the desired effect, then why not just leave it
to chance and be done with it?

I bet he doesn't answer that one! :-) They never do.
