~ God Makes Sovereign Appointments ~
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 ~ “Therefore, though I might be very
bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, yet for love’s sake I rather
appeal to you — being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner
of Jesus Christ — I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten
while in my chains, who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to
you and to me.
“I am sending
him back. You therefore receive him,
that is, my own heart, whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he
might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. But without your consent I wanted to do
nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but
voluntary.
“For perhaps
he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him
forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave — a beloved brother,
especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord”
(Philemon 8-16).
