Providence is Amazing

Sherry Attributes of God, Christian Life, promises, Sovereignty of God

As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four. -Ezekiel 1:18

Even the man that knows that every wave that dashes against the ship is washing him nearer home-that every breath of wind that rises comes to his sail and fills it, and sends it to the white cliffs of his native Albion-even the man that feels that all is for him-even he must say that Providence is amazing. O! that thought, it staggers thought! O! it is an idea that overwhelms me-that God is working all! The sins of man, the wickedness of our race, the crimes of nations, the iniquities of kings, the cruelties of wars, the terrific scourge of pestilence-all these things in some mysterious way are working the will of God! We must not look at it; we cannot look at it. I cannot explain it. I cannot tell you where human will and free agency unite with God’s sovereignty and with His unfailing decrees. This has been the place where intellectual gladiators have fought with each other ever since the time of Adam. Some have said, Man does as he likes; and others have said, God does as He pleases. In one sense, they are both true; but there is no man that has brains or understanding enough to show where they meet. We cannot tell how it is that I do just as I please as to which street I shall go home by; and yet I cannot go home but through a certain road… Last Sabbath-day I came down a certain street I do not know why-and there was a young man who wished to speak to me; he wished to see me many times before. I say that was God’s Providence-that I might meet that young man. Here was Providence, and yet there was my choice; how, I cannot tell. I cannot comprehend it… There is no half way between a mighty God that worketh all things by the sovereign counsel of His will and no God at all. A God that cannot do as He pleases-a God whose will is frustrated, is not a God, and cannot be a God. I could not believe in such a God as that.~ C.H. Spurgeon

      • Hi Sherry did you read Maria’s post about Revelation she says Amillennialism is not heresy. Do those who hold to Amillennialism And post Tribulation do they not realize that those views puts children in the Tribulation I mean they will go up at the Rapture and Jesus loves children.

      • Yes, I know. But how can I trust these old guys she says aren’t heretics don’t have antisemitism coursing through their personal interpretive theology? If it doesn’t line up to today’s history, if it doesn’t bless the seed of Abraham, no matter how the Jews have acted and rejected our Beloved Lord Jesus as their Messiah, if it doesn’t properly interpret scriptures, its no theology I want to believe. Amillennialism is responsible for just about every false Christian teaching. Keep praying for her eyes to be opened to the truth, Brother. Rest assured, when the rapture happens she will go up with us.

      • Yes I agree we will pray that her eyes are opened to the truth of the Pre Tribulation Rapture and I 100% agree that she and the rest of us will go up in the Rapture.
