Today’s Thought “Who Is Like the Lord?” G. Ward  

“For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, (as it is written, “A father of many nations have I made you”) in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist.” Romans 4:16-17

The fall of man happened because of evil appeal to one’s own sufficiency over God dependence. History reveals more an inability for man to effectuate resolution against calamity, destruction and disease. Modern times have now dictated ability to make claimants of any kind that opposes my well being and by faith it shall be done. My trouble with this maintains that man insists on adopting what only Holy God is said to do, along with horrid neglect in recalling how calamity and disease remains indiscriminate. In view of the most heinous crime committed unto our Wonderful Savior, why should I be exempt from tragedy (*Jn.15:20)? I choose to trust the grace shown me and in the future hope without pain.

Happy Friday!
