~ God’s Wisdom Is Far Above Human Wisdom ~
Introduction
~ “Abundant Life Now” previously provided
a list of Biblical of examples of fearing / reverencing God (217 posts). In this current series we look at Biblical
accounts that demonstrate that we can fully trust God. Initially we posted seven general reasons for
trusting God. We are currently looking
at passages from all 66 books of Scripture which demonstrate a reason for
trusting our Creator.
Scripture
~ “And again He entered Capernaum
after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. Immediately many gathered together, so that
there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic
who was carried by four men. And when
they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof
where He was. So when they had broken
through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
“When Jesus
saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven
you.’ And some of the scribes were
sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, ‘Why does this Man speak
blasphemies like this? Who can forgive
sins but God alone?’
“But
immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus within
themselves, He said to them, ‘Why do you reason about these things in your
hearts? Which is easier, to say to the
paralytic, “Your sins are forgiven you,” or to say, “Arise, take up your bed
and walk”? But that you may know that
the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins’ — He said to the paralytic,
‘I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.’ Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and
went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified
God, saying, ‘We never saw anything like this!’ (Mark 2:1-12).
