Members Kienyui Posted May 7 Members Share Posted May 7 Ahab was so persistent to carry out his own will to conquer Ramoth Gilead that he tried to work-around God’s prophecy in an attempt to outsmart God. However, tried as he might, his disguise didn’t save him. He still could not avoid his death as God had foretold. Ahab might think he was smart to disguise himself but let king Jehoshaphat wear his royal robes so that Jehoshaphat could be the enemy’s target instead of himself. However, man can never outwit God. As (Proverbs 19:21) says, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” God also said, “Woe to the obstinate children, to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin.” (Isaiah 30:1). Thus, it is certainly not wise to play games with God. Instead of being stubborn and manipulate things to get our way, it is better to: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” (Proverbs 16:3). I commit all my plan, my aspirations and my doing into the hands of the lord. I know I sinned and have fallen short of his glory. I know by my human nature, I have no right to talk before God but by his mercy and grace, here I am. All I am looking for is bread and not riches. Safety and sustainability. If God had approved of me getting help, let his will be done. If God has another plans for me, let me be by his will. All I ask for is mercy. Father let your will be done. Amen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
