Lamentations 3:37 ” Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?”

It’s very difficult to imagine, but no determinative event in the course of history has happened without God ordaining it first. Yes, I know that’s tough to swallow, but we must first acknowledge our very limited understanding in light of God’s vast wisdom & sovereignty. We must also agree that His wisdom is far beyond what He reveals…and this unrevealed wisdom is totally incomprehensible to our feeble minds. Genesis 1:3 tells us that all that happens is by God’s Word, and Amos 3:6 reminds us that this includes calamity as well as good.
