Scriptures To Understand the Why of God

SF, Stagecoach, NV

Dear Brothers & Sisters,

     Like me, do you prefer to understand according to what the Scriptures say about God's promises for you?  We are not under the Laws of Moses, but we can claim these PROMISES WITHIN THE BIBLE FOR US.

     Here's a couple you may like.

Why Does Evil Prosper?  A Question I asked often, and He Answered

     [Jeremiah 12:1-17 NASB] 1 Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered?  Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease? 2 You have planted them, they have also taken root; They grow, they have even produced fruit.You are near to their lips But far from their mind. 3 But You know me, O LORD;You see me; And You examine my heart's attitude toward You.  Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter And set them apart for a day of carnage! 4 How long is the land to mourn And the vegetation of the countryside to wither?  For the wickedness of those who dwell in it, Animals and birds have been snatched away, Because men have said, "He will not see our latter ending." 5 "If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out, Then how can you compete with horses?  If you fall down in a land of peace, How will you do in the thicket of the Jordan? 6 "For even your brothers and the household of your father, Even they have dealt treacherously with you,Even they have cried aloud after you.  Do not believe them, although they may say nice things to you." 7 "I have forsaken My house, I have abandoned My inheritance; I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies. 8 "My inheritance has become to Me Like a lion in the forest; She has roared against Me; Therefore I have come to hate her. 9 "Is My inheritance like a speckled bird of prey to Me?  Are the birds of prey against her on every side?  Go, gather all the beasts of the field, Bring them to devour! 10 "Many shepherds have ruined My vineyard, They have trampled down My field; They have made My pleasant field A desolate wilderness. 11 "It has been made a desolation, Desolate, it mourns before Me; The whole land has been made desolate, Because no man lays it to heart. 12 "On all the bare heights in the wilderness Destroyers have come, For a sword of the LORD is devouring From one end of the land even to the other; There is no peace for anyone. 13 "They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns, They have strained themselves to no profit.  But be ashamed of your harvest Because of the fierce anger of the LORD." 14 Thus says the LORD concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, "Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them. 15 "And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. 16 "Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, 'As the LORD lives,' even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people. 17 "But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it," declares the LORD.

Protection In Last Days: 

[1Peter 1:3-9 NASB] 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, 7 so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 8 and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

     Hope one of these helped you.
