Comments on: God’s Nonintervention Policy http://www.lanelester.com/reflections/gods-nonintervention-policy/ Reflections on Life and Faith Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:20:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Galilean http://www.lanelester.com/reflections/gods-nonintervention-policy/#comment-68 Galilean Sat, 05 Apr 2008 08:31:27 +0000 http://www.lanelester.com/archives/5#comment-68 There seems to be some misunderstanding here. Consider this: God is intimately involved at all times in every detail of creation. This is what he says: He feeds every creature and every person. (Psalms 104,145) He takes care of orphans and widows (Psalms 146) Not one sparrow falls to ground apart from His will and even the hairs on your head are numbered (Matthew 10, Luke 12). There are many other examples for God intervenes for our good in all things (Romans 8:28). Even when people intend actions to be evil (selling Joseph into slavery) God INTENDS those actions for good, not merely permits them.(Genesis 50:20) I know its a very hard thing, but I have learned to see with eyes of faith the good God is working in what might seem like horrible situations. I can't always see it, but I trust the one who knows all things. And I try to remember what Jesus teachs through the apostle Paul that our present suffering are not even comparable to the glory that will result (Romans 8:18) For Jesus will raise everyone from the dead, He will feed all who are hungry, He will heal all the sick, and wipe away every tear. He says that the former things will not even be remembered. Isaiah (65:17)I look forward to that day. There seems to be some misunderstanding here.

I think the principle of non-intervention is a good one. Sometimes people expect God to intervene to keep something unpleasant from happening. I have a relative who is doing that now. It is hard to know how to respond to her. May God support you and your mother as she slowly dies. Jim Looks like I can leave responses ok now.
