REVELATION OF GOD Meditations No.8 of 10

Let’s pick out those points again that have come as gradual revelation, and put them all together:

1. God sees and knows and understands everything there is to know about us.
2. He has a purpose for the earth which stretches far into the future.
3. He persists with our slowness.
4. He can intervene in His world and bring changes.
5. God knows the future and acts into it.
6. God knows what He can do with us.
7. God works in and through and around us as He works for His end goal for the good of mankind.
8. He is all powerful and can act into His world and change it with what we call acts of nature.
9. Where He brings pressure to bear on individuals, He always gives a warning and options first.
10. The intention is of bringing such people through to a place of agreeing with Him for their good.
11. When all else fails, God will sometimes take that person or people off the planet.
12. God does not delight in death but wants people to repent and live.
13. God knows best how we ‘work’.
14. Any laws He gave Israel could perhaps be seen as His ‘design rules’ for living.
15. God knows we are weak and will fail.
16. He provides for a way for our guilt to be taken through the sacrificial law.
17. He is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.
