|
|
<p>We have mentioned that God is working out His purpose in our lives. How are some of the ways He goes about doing this?
|
|
<p><br><b>Ruler</b>
|
|
|
|
<p>To begin with, God is in control of all circumstances:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord (<a id="nbi536-si1" onClick="return mV('Pro',16,33);">Pro 16:33</a>).</p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>God, ultimately is in charge.
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>For the kingdom is the Lord's, and He rules over all the nations (<a id="nbi536-si2" onClick="return mV('Psa',22,28);">Psa 22:28</a>).<br></BLOCKQUOTE> <b><br>Knows Everything</b>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Bible says that nothing escapes the eyes of God the Father:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. But the very hairs on your head is numbered, Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows (<a id="nbi536-si3" onClick="return mV('Mat',10,'29-31');">Mat 10:29-31</a>).</p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>Nothing escapes God's notice.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Through Unbelievers</b>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Scripture teaches that God achieves His purpose in unbelievers.
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><p>And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians (<a id="nbi536-si4" onClick="return mV('Exd',12,36);">Exd 12:36</a>).</p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p><BLOCKQUOTE>God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne (<a id="nbi536-si5" onClick="return mV('Psa',47,8);">Psa 47:8</a>).</p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Summary</b>
|
|
|
|
<p>God achieves His purpose in our lives in a variety of ways. Since nothing escapes His notice He uses all sorts of circumstances to get His will done in our lives. This includes unbelievers.</p>
