Well thought passages such as this one enable Christians to be effective in the secular workplace and allow the light to shine. We can more easily release circumstances since we know who controls the outcome.<BR/>Blessings!Jackie Colburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06988607818516034838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-27418486086775582582008-09-09T20:02:00.000-04:002008-09-09T20:02:00.000-04:00Oops!

That is the difference between finite and infinite. We just can't do that. In fact, when we try to hold either point strongly, we make a mess of things. Predestination: why try? Free choice: anything I say and want.

None.

Preach it sister!<BR/>God also delivered the king of Judah over to Nebuchadnezzer in Daniel, and "raised up" the Babylonians in Habakkuk.<BR/>And Hannah's prayer in 1 Samuel says that it is God who kills. People really don't want to believe that.<BR/>I personally feel so much less anxiety knowing that all things are in His control. Knowing that even the death of a loved one is by His hand. That gives it purpose in my mind. He does everything for a good reason. Better than thinking someone just died because the devil wanted them to, or because of global warming -- that seems empty and pointless.<BR/><BR/>May God bless you and keep you. You are dismissed. :)Kay Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14915323487092648396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-87052399865488991872008-09-09T08:42:00.001-04:002008-09-09T08:42:00.001-04:00YES!!!

Studying Daniel and Isaiah completely changed my life and made me much more relaxed about world events. <BR/><BR/>Christians can get so panicky if the "right" person isn't elected, when sometimes the "wrong" person is the "right" one to fulfill God's purposes. The worst-case scenario in our eyes may be the very one to bring about His return!Mocha with Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16387717261200678465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13498449.post-92149150580872970562008-09-09T08:42:00.000-04:002008-09-09T08:42:00.000-04:00Excellent words, Angela!
