By God It Comes To Be - Job 9:24

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, who else could it be? - Job 9:24

    There are endless discussions regarding God’s role in the existence and observable workings of evil in the world. Last week’s SCOTUS ruling in favor of homosexual marriage is just another outgrowth of the reality that God does indeed ordain all that comes about. From tsunamis to earthquakes to mass shootings to childhood cancer, God does indeed ordain the events. There is only one alternate explanation: that God is not sovereign and thus Satan holds power even greater than God! This is absurd, of course. We know for certain that “ . . . all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” - Romans 8:28.
    The question remains “why?” I would suggest an answer, but not to that particular question. I would ask, “why do we ( how dare we) question our sovereign God, using our limited human wisdom as the template for understanding His divine motives. How could we ever begin to understand why God ordains a good day or a bad day without possessing the one thing we will never possess: divine omniscience?
    We cannot possibly comprehend the divine plan that God has in place, nor the workings He has put into play to bring it to completion. We simply do not possess that knowledge - “‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.  “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.’” - Isaiah 55:8-9. We are not humanly capable of possessing God’s knowledge so how could ever possibly understand His plan?
    So from this we must accept the fact that the abominable SCOTUS ruling, as terribly destructive to our nation, society, and culture as it is, has been ordained by God Himself and no other. We must stop trying to understand that which has been veiled to us by God and -  “Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the Lord; let us lift our hearts and hands to God in heaven.” - Lamentations 3:40-41.
