"His Word and His Ways"

     "For the Word of the LORD is right; and all His works are done in truth" (Psalm 33:4).

    If we could see all that God does - a most overwhelming prospect to even imagine - we would observe every action to be in perfect accordance with the Scriptures.  Our Heavenly Father "cannot lie," nor can His ways conflict with His Word (Titus 1:2).  We may not always understand how His doings perfectly align with His sayings.  We can know without question, however, that they do.

   "I will meditate in Thy precepts, and have respect unto Thy ways" (Psalm 119:115).

    This encourages strong motivation to know and understand the Bible as well as possible.  If God works according to His Word, His actions in our lives can only be properly interpreted if we know the Scriptural teaching of what He does and how He does it.  Our understanding will remain limited, regardless of how well we hide our Lord's Word in our hearts.  However, we will better respond to the events of life as we absorb the Truth that leads to life and the realization God is present, involved and vibrantly active in every moment, condition, and circumstance.  "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).

   We live in a generation that grants to most people far more available access to the Bible than ever in history.  It behooves us as God works in our personal history, and in the lives of those around us, to discover His character, capabilities, and doings as well as possible in the pages of Scripture.  Thereby, we will better respond in faith and devotion to our Father as He works in ways we sometimes easily understand, and in administrations and allowances that leave us scratching our heads.  "Why, Lord?" will remain as a regular inquiry throughout our earthly lifetime.  However, the better we know God's Word, the better we will find ourselves trusting Him and knowing the assurance of "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee" (Isaiah 26:3).  Indeed, "the just shall live by faith," the faith that…

"Cometh by hearting, and hearing by the Word of God."

(Romans 10:17)

    For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
