The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

God Controls Everything

The very hairs of are head are all numbered (Matthew 10:29-30).  God the Father is controlling all our circumstances and nothing happens that is not through His care-loving hands.  He directs all our circumstances and it is a moment by moment directing.  He is sovereign and in complete control.  Some think that God is standing away from His creation and letting things flow apart from Him.  Nothing trivial escapes His notice.  Everything in creation is ordered by God alone. 

It is indeed hard to believe when things go dark.  It is hard to believe when we are in great pain.  We ought to have the response of waiting upon the Lord.  We ought to use discernment in the way we should walk in Christ.  We ought to keep our eyes on Yeshua and He will safely lead us along life's pathway.  It is designed by Him and we can take confidence that He is in control.  In fact, we are to be assured that God is controlling all things pertaining to life and godliness. We ought to look to God for deliverance, for light and for help.  We call this our precious faith. 

It is a awesome thing to discern that God is with us because He controls everything; however, many do not believe this sacred truth.  I suggest to you that we should rest upon the absolute sovereignty of God in all things.  This will give us hope and increase our faith.  He is not the author of sin nor does He have any fellowship with sin. 

We ought to never deny God's particular providence.  Nothing should baffle us because we know that everything passes through the hands of Jesus our Friend and Advocate with God the Father.  There is no god that can take us out of the hand of Almighty God.  There is no person who can damn us, condemn us or forsake us under judgment when we have truly trusted Christ.  It is because God through His Son has made the matter of spiritual salvation a secure and certain testimony of His abundant and all-sufficient grace.  Amen.
