How do we know God and His works in our midst? A way is to read and
meditate the words of God in the scriptures.
Here is one example found in the Twenty-ninth Chapter Tenth Verse in the
Book of Jeremiah. "For thus says the Lord, When seventy years are
completed for Babylon, I will visit you and keep My good promise to you,
causing you to return to this place." This is the promise of God given to
His people through the prophet that God would return His flock from the
captivity to the land of Judah.
What God had promised was fulfilled in history. We all know that human
life is so complicated and complex that no one can solve its problem, let alone
not a single person knows what's going to happen tomorrow. That's us, what we
are. But we are not left in darkness because God shines His light out of
darkness. The Scripture is given for us to search the light day and night.
We believe that our God knows what he is doing in the midst of so many
different voices, languages, cultures, problems, wars, violence, conflicts,
diseases, and natural disasters, definitely including the U.S. budget crisis.
He is the One who reigns through all these incidents and events in history according
to His divine time schedule and plan for good purpose.
What Paul says is quite true eternally. "Now to the King eternal,
immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and
ever. Amen." (1 Timothy 1:17 NKJV) What we believe is non other than such
a kind of God!
