The Ways of God (4) (22.6.15)

“The ways of God reach way past the stars,

                               reach past the firmament present at creation,

                               reach past the disposition of the stars –

                                 the furnaces as built and minded in stability of process within the timing of God.

The ways of God were present at the birthing of the spirits of man,

                             were present at the placement of the cosmos,

                             were present at the creation of the earth,

                             were present at the placement of the earth,

                             were present at the cradling of the earth,

                             were present when The Word brought life into existence for the cradle so prepared.

The ways of God are present at the guardianship of the earth,

                             are present at the progressive stepping of the earth,

                             are present in the life forms on the earth,

                             are present in the dominion of man,

                             are present in all the forms of life on earth awaiting the discovery of man,

                             are present in all the forms of life on earth awaiting the knowledge of man –

                                                                                                     as to their function and their purpose,

                             are present in the oversight of God as He rejoices at man’s discoveries –

                                   how each is able to contribute to the benefit of man while under his dominion,

                                                                                                    and within the jurisdiction of his God.

The ways of God are beneficent in the approach to man,

                             are beneficent in the giftings to man,

                             are beneficent in the treating of man,

                             are beneficent in conversing with man,

                             are beneficent in laying waste the sins of man,

                             are beneficent in not withholding grace to the qualified and the earnest of man.

The ways of God exhort and encourage,

                             bring favour with the healings,

                             stretch miracles to measure the needs and the desires of man.

The ways of God are reliable and consistent,

                             do not follow the ways and means attributable to man,

                             follow instead the highlighting of My Spirit and the loving of The Father.

The ways of God do not bring clouds of exasperation,

                             do not need a tail-end wind to be fair,

                             do not need protection from the storms of life.

The ways of God strengthen and enlighten,

                             know the way forward out of difficulties,

                             know the solutions available which have no call on death.

The ways of God do not include the death calls issued on the body of man,

                                                     the death calls issued to separate the body from the spirit and the soul,

                                                     the death calls of entrapment which preclude a hallowed life.

The ways of God cannot be pre-determined by man,

                             cannot be influenced by man other than by prayer,

                             comply with all requirements found within the word,

                             cannot be bypassed or ignored yet still produce results in line with expectations –

                                                  as gleaned from the word in all its fullness of expression and of deed.

The ways of God have two outlets of expression as determined by the choice of man –

                                                                                          when in an enduring relationship with God:

                             have either the rule of law with mercy as scribed in the time of the patriarchs;

                                           or the new covenant of grace arising from the cross as sculptured by Jesus The Christ –

                                                                    with His two commandments and the apostles to the fore.”
