God is concerned…
The Father says, “My people perish from a lack of knowledge.” (Hosea 4: 6)
In other words, it is our ignorance that can cause our downfall. Our lack of knowledge may lead us away from the Heavenly Father. The farther we stray away from Him, the harder it becomes to follow Him. And, if we are not following Him…then, who are we following? There is only one alternative to God. And…that is the devil. In other words, if you are not following God, then, you are following the devil. And…the devil can only lead you to one place…HELL.
Many people are ignorant of the fact that God is always in control of everything that happens in the world. He is everywhere all the time and knows what is going on every moment. There is not one thing that happens in this entire world that the Father doesn’t know about. Don’t think for one moment that what happens to you, at any given time, is accidental. It is not. Nothing happens by chance. Let me break down how this thing works.
You have probably heard about the two fugitives that broke out of prison in New York… Matt and Sweat. Matt was shot and killed. This did not happen by chance. Ultimately, it happened because God allowed it to happen. God allowed the events that happened, to come about, to bring about the result of Richard Matt’s death. Plain and Simple. Man doesn’t bring about anything that the Father has not allowed. I hope you are still following me. If God did not allow the border officers to shoot & kill Richard Matt, it would not have happened.
Now, don’t get confused. I am not saying that God wanted it to happen or… that He caused it to happen. This I do not know because I have not asked him about it. (and…it’s not necessary to know for the point I’m making) I am only saying this… He just didn’t stop it…and He could have. So, what does this mean? It means that for whatever reason(s), God decided that he would allow Richard Matt to be shot to death on that day. Even if the devil wanted Richard Matt to die that day because he felt that Richard Matt may surely go to hell , the devil could not make it happen IF God said, “Oh, no, you are not going to get him yet.” O.k…
Now, what does this have to do with the rest of us? Everyday that I wake up, I know for sure who is in charge of me. And…I know for sure… it ain’t me. I am not in charge of anything that happens to me. I’m not. You may say…”Iris…that’s not true. When you decide to get up and go to the bathroom you are in control of doing that.” I would respond to you in this way, “NO, NO, NO…you are Sooooo Wrong!” If the Father decides… that is not what He wants to me to do, it will not happen. Remember this…He is in charge of the very breath that I breathe. And…He can stop my breath at anytime if He so chooses. I go to the bathroom when I do… because…again…HE ALLOWS IT. Let’s say it together, “I do what I do because God allows it. I do what I do because God allows it.”
Understanding that God is in charge is very, veeeery humbling. You see… I know that because He is God… & He is in charge, I need to do what He tells me to do. Not, what Me, Myself & I want to do. I know that I must follow Him because I don’t like the only alternative. And, I am not trying to go to Hell for nobody. But, you know what? Even more important to me than not going to Hell, is…I LOVE HIM. I love Him sooooooooo much & I don’t want to disappoint Him. I thank God everyday that He brought me out of darkness &… into the light. I thank God everyday that I am no longer on a fast track to Hell. I thank God everyday that He loved me enough to be patient with me when I was lost. (and…that was for a long, long time) And, I thank God everyday that He did not let me perish in my ignorance. Apostle Paul says, “Oh wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?” (Romans 7:24)
I’ll tell you… who. MY HEAVENLY FATHER. It is only my Father who has freed this child… from this body… of death. OH YALL… I hope you are listening to me!!! You see… I was the real “walking dead.” And, I didn’t have sense enough to know it. At any given time, I was at the gates of Hell & standing on a banana peel. But…my Father came. YES!!! He came & He rescued me from no one…but, myself. PRAISE GOD!!! Now, don’t misunderstand. He didn’t do this because I deserved it. DEFINITELY NOT. If I deserved anything from the sense of being a sinful human being…surely, it was death as Apostle Paul says. My Father came only because HE LOVES ME. Because HE LOVES ME…in spite of myself. Now…that’s really something! PRAISE GOD!!!
