Gods Ways


Heb 3:7-12
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness,
9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works forty years.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, 'They always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My ways.'
11 So I swore in My wrath, 'They shall not enter My rest.' "
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;
(NKJ)

Isa 55:8-9
8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD.
9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Job 31:1-40

1 "I have made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I look upon a young woman?
2 For what is the allotment of God from above, and the inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
3 Is it not destruction for the wicked, and disaster for the workers of iniquity?
4 Does He not see my ways, and count all my steps?
5 "If I have walked with falsehood, or if my foot has hastened to deceit,
6 Let me be weighed on honest scales, that God may know my integrity.
7 If my step has turned from the way, or my heart walked after my eyes, or if any spot adheres to my hands,
8 Then let me sow, and another eat; yes, let my harvest be rooted out.
9 "If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door,
10 Then let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down over her.
11 For that would be wickedness; yes, it would be iniquity deserving of judgment.
12 For that would be a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all my increase.
13 "If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant when they complained against me,
14 What then shall I do when God rises up? When He punishes, how shall I answer Him?
15 Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?
16 "If I have kept the poor from their desire, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 Or eaten my morsel by myself, so that the fatherless may not eat of it
18 (But from my youth I reared him as a father, and from my mother's womb I guided the widow);
19 If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or any poor man without covering;
20 If his heart has not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 If I have raised my hand against the fatherless, when I saw I had help in the gate;
22 Then let my arm fall from my shoulder, let my arm be torn from the socket.
23 For destruction from God is a terror to me, and because of His magnificence I could not endure.
24 "If I have made gold my hope, or said to fine gold, 'You are my confidence';
25 If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gained much;
26 If I have observed the sun when it shines, or the moon moving in brightness,
27 So that my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand;
28 This also would be an iniquity worthy of judgment, for I would have denied God who is above.
29 "If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me, or lifted myself up when evil found him
30 (Indeed I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking for a curse on his soul);
31 If the men of my tent have not said, 'Who is there that has not been satisfied with his meat?'
32 (But no sojourner had to lodge in the street, for I have opened my doors to the traveler);
33 If I have covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom,
34 Because I feared the great multitude, and dreaded the contempt of families, so that I kept silence and did not go out of the door--
35 Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my mark. Oh, that the Almighty would answer me, that my Prosecutor had written a book!
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, and bind it on me like a crown;
37 I would declare to Him the number of my steps; like a prince I would approach Him.
38 "If my land cries out against me, and its furrows weep together;
39 If I have eaten its fruit without money, or caused its owners to lose their lives;
40 Then let thistles grow instead of wheat, and weeds instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.

Job 38:1-39:30

1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
2 "Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.
4 "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 "Or who shut in the sea with doors, when it burst forth and issued from the womb;
9 When I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band;
10 When I fixed My limit for it, and set bars and doors;
11 When I said, 'This far you may come, but no farther, and here your proud waves must stop!'
12 "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?
14 It takes on form like clay under a seal, and stands out like a garment.
15 From the wicked their light is withheld, and the upraised arm is broken.
16 "Have you entered the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in search of the depths?
17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18 Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.
19 "Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place,
20 That you may take it to its territory, that you may know the paths to its home?
21 Do you know it, because you were born then, or because the number of your days is great?
22 "Have you entered the treasury of snow, or have you seen the treasury of hail,
23 Which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?
24 By what way is light diffused, or the east wind scattered over the earth?
25 "Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water, or a path for the thunderbolt,
26 to cause it to rain on a land where there is no one, a wilderness in which there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate waste, and cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?
28 Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
30 The waters harden like stone, and the surface of the deep is frozen.
31 "Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the belt of Orion?
32 Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?
33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?
34 "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that an abundance of water may cover you?
35 Can you send out lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, 'Here we are!'?
36 Who has put wisdom in the mind? Or who has given understanding to the heart?
37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
38 When the dust hardens in clumps, and the clods cling together?
39 "Can you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
40 When they crouch in their dens, or lurk in their lairs to lie in wait?
41 Who provides food for the raven, when its young ones cry to God, and wander about for lack of food?

CHAPTER 39

1 "Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats bear young? Or can you mark when the deer gives birth?
2 Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bear young?
3 They bow down, they bring forth their young, they deliver their offspring.
4 Their young ones are healthy, they grow strong with grain; they depart and do not return to them.
5 "Who set the wild donkey free? Who loosed the bonds of the onager,
6 Whose home I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwelling?
7 He scorns the tumult of the city; he does not heed the shouts of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.
9 "Will the wild ox be willing to serve you? Will he bed by your manger?
10 Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
11 Will you trust him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him?
12 Will you trust him to bring home your grain, and gather it to your threshing floor?
13 "The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, but are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork's?
14 For she leaves her eggs on the ground, and warms them in the dust;
15 She forgets that a foot may crush them, or that a wild beast may break them.
16 She treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers; her labor is in vain, without concern,
17 Because God deprived her of wisdom, and did not endow her with understanding.
18 When she lifts herself on high, she scorns the horse and its rider.
19 "Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder?
20 Can you frighten him like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror.
21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; he gallops into the clash of arms.
22 He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; nor does he turn back from the sword.
23 The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and javelin.
24 He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.
25 At the blast of the trumpet he says, 'Aha!' He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of captains and shouting.
26 "Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and spread its wings toward the south?
27 Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make its nest on high?
28 On the rocks it dwells and resides, on the crag of the rock and the stronghold.
29 From there it spies out the prey; its eyes observe from afar.
30 Its young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there it is."

Job 40:1-9

1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said:
2 "Shall the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? He who rebukes God, let him answer it."
3 Then Job answered the LORD and said:
4 "Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer You? I lay my hand over my mouth.
5 Once I have spoken, but I will not answer; yes, twice, but I will proceed no further."
6 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
7 "Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me:
8 "Would you indeed annul My judgment? Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?
9 Have you an arm like God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?

Gods ways are different than mans ways. Some of you people are trying to "allow" God into your way of doing things, and your way of living. That is what satan wants you to do. Some of you have the arrogance to think you can correct God. Some of you have the arrogance to think you can judge Gods Word. Gods Word and Gods ways are suppose to change your whole life and being. Gods Word is perfect, its you that has the problem of deception.

God gives life and when he chooses he takes life away. All the seemingly random acts of life like the heart attack or the car accident or the drug overdose are not random at all. They are God's ways of bringing an end to a life of sin. God is in control of everything, there is no such thing as chance or coincidence.
