John 5:30 As I hear, I judge, and My Judgment is Just, because I seek not My Own Will but the Will of Him who sent me.
God’s Divine Order and Plan for His Universe pertains to EVERYTHING. This includes, but is not limited to, our individual lives, families, social systems, the environment, all levels of government, natural laws of physics, and spiritual truths. God has put in place Order for everything He ever created, which is EVERYTHING. Nothing is exempt from God’s Order and Plan. God created nothing without a Plan and Order.
The enemy, through man, has tried to destroy God’s Order for His Universe, but this effort will never be successful. God is far more Powerful than any demonic spirit or force Satan possesses. The Goodness of God will always prevail over evil.
Another facet of God’s Divine Order is Justice and Judgment. God is the Judge. He is Just and True. He will bring Judgment. We can be assured of this. Another natural law and Spiritual Truth is that every action demands a reaction. All actions have consequences, good or bad. This is true in both the natural and the spiritual.
While God does allow Satan to attack us, He does so to test our faith in Him and make us spiritually stronger. This is how God teaches us to depend on Him and not on ourselves or this world. God’s Order and Plan includes all of us being tested over and over again.
This part of God's Order is the basis upon which our school system was established. The students are taught a lesson, then they are tested to determine whether or not they have learned that lesson. If the student passes the test, they move on to the next level of study. If they fail, they are required to repeat that class.
Every day God (by way of the Holy Spirit, who is our Teacher) teaches us lessons. Then, when He deems the time to be right, our faith is tested. That is God’s Order for Spiritual Growth.
God teaches the lessons, gives the tests, and judges our responses. That is the way He planned it, and that is the way it is and shall forever be. God loves all His Creation. It is His Will that every person come to Salvation through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. Sometimes it takes a very difficult test to cause a person to give their heart to the Lord, but God never gives up on anyone. And sometimes, we have to repeat the same lessons over and over again.
It is also God's Will for His children to totally surrender to Him. He is all we need. His Grace is sufficient. He is able to do the impossible. Without Him, we are nothing. With Him, we can do all things. Praise God!
In the end, our faith in God is all that will really matter. Everything of this world is trivial and meaningless. As long as we are alive on this earth, the Teacher will never stop teaching and testing. In the end, we will stand before the Judge who will make the final determination. His decision will be just and final. That is God’s Plan and His Order. He makes no exceptions. He is no respecter of persons. All are judged by the same measure.
Let our prayer be to listen to our Teacher, be quick to learn the lessons so we may pass the tests and measure up when we stand before the Judge. Then, we will hear Him say, “Well done, My good and faithful servant.” Hallelujah!
In His Time, according to His Plan, He will........turn the tide
