I need to come to grips that God is a better god than me. He is sovereign, not I. It’s His universe and He’s permitted to run it according to His wisdom. In His sovereignty He permits people, at times, to hurt me. Yet without excusing their sin, He has a reason for inflicting pain in my life. It’s my job to trust Him as God, knowing that He has my best interests in mind, working all things together for my ultimate good (Rom. 8:28). It’s not about me becoming bitter over my trials. It’s about Him making me better through my trials.

    Does the Rule of Reason apply?
  • Isaiah 55:8-9 man’s ability to reason does not measure up to divine reasoning
  • The word ‘reason’ is used 88 times in scripture. Only 1 time does it refer to man:
    Isaiah 1:18 let us reason together
    Russell exploits this text; however, Isaiah is clear – man’s reasoning is to be applied to the proposition of salvation, not to a discovery of his nature, deity, spiritual substance, limiting His character, or probing His mind.
  • Romans 11: 34-36 who hath known the mind of God
