Isaiah 55: 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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.
One of the sticking points many individuals struggle with is the fact that there are times when God will set up a ruler that causes much havoc and suffering to people. There have been times when an entirely stupid ruler has been permitted by God to reign and persons became perplexed as to why such and such a person was granted authority in the first place.
At such times as these, we should remember that God is not a man, He is not finite, but infinite, and because of His singular ability to read future events accurately, God is able to plan and execute quite strategically, and when His providence is reviewed in retrospect, we will discover that God did what He did flawlessly.
Case in point is that, to the Hebrews, sitting in that state of bondage to the Egyptians, it might have seemed as if their deliverance was prolonged, and many of them may have become very perplexed as to why God was permitting that particular pharaoh to do what he was doing to God’s people.
Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
