Genesis 18:25
That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
- Just looking at the last statement in the verse, we can know that our God will do what is right. Even in the midst of challenging times, God will do right.
- My life may not always follow the path that I expect, but God will always do right.
- God is definitely trustworthy.
- We may not know what is down the road ir around the corner, but God does. With that foreknowledge, He will always do the right thing.
- God is governed by Biblical principle, not by emotion.
Genesis 24:27
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
- Again, looking at just one part of the verse -- "I being in the way, the LORD led me." When we put ourselves in the place to be used, God will indeed guide and direct.
- Often we pray and ask for "guidance and direction." The fact is that God does through the Spirit guide and direct, but we do not always follow His leading.
- I want to place myself in a place where I can be used of God in whatever way He chooses.
- God is worthy of our worship and praise.
- He has not abandoned us, not even in the midst of challenging times.
- I can trust God's leading, even when I do not understand what He is seeking to accomplish.
As we read the Scriptures, it is important that we allow God to give us direction and even encouragement. He is truly a great and wonderful God.
