You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
Job 38:34-35
34 Canst thou lift up [ruwm] thy voice [qowl] to the
clouds [`ab], that abundance [shiph`ah] of waters [mayim] may cover
[kacah] thee?
35 Canst thou send [shalach] lightnings [baraq], that
they may go [yalak], and say ['amar] unto thee, Here we are? KJV-Interlinear
34 'Can you lift up your voice to
the clouds, So that an abundance of water may cover you? 35 'Can you send forth lightnings that they
may go And say to you, 'Here we are'? NASB
There will always be skeptics out there, and there
will always be charlatans trying to deceive and separate you from your money
and/or freedoms.
And here is to all of the would be rain makers, or
those who presume that they can command the lightning.
So, raise your glasses high and salute to the heavens.
Command as you may, but all you'll get is whatever is in your glass, and
nothing more.
No rain dances, no incantations, no sacrifices of
virgins or babies to the rain gods. No
storm dances, no wishes of evil on ones enemies, no voodoo etc. None of these, and we will add to the list,
nothing of human imagination or act can cause, alter, change, prevent, force or
do anything to the various activities of nature.
These are all under Gods control, and no one else's.
These verses signify the absolute control over the
things of nature, and the things of this universe, which God maintains for
Himself. God is sovereign.
Raise your arms, call on the wind, do whatever it is
that you believe is within your power and you will accomplish nothing.
Do anything, apart from Gods will, that is to say, do
anything from the perspective of mans own effort and work, and nothing will be
accomplished. Nothing that is except a
tendency toward screwing things up more.
Whenever man attempts to regulate nature, or anything,
which is beyond his realm, then the results will be to throw one imbalance
after another into the scheme of things which God has already made provision
for.
Your own life is the best example that anyone can come
up with. Trying to do anything on your
own, outside of Gods will for your life, will end up in futility. The biggest trouble with all of this is that
you will never discover it until you have died and gone before the Lord, and
then, your understanding will be very real to you. But too late, of course.
These things are close to home. But man cannot command the lightning, cannot
bring it into his own hand as an obedient dog, and command it. Man cannot command the rain to begin or to
stop, nor control its overall output.
This past winter, the snow fall in the mountains is
three-hundred to five-hundred percent above average. Why is that?
What caused it?
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
