Why do we think we’re being punished? The things that are being revoked are man-made. If man can make it, man can revoke it; and, I don’t want to be a slave to man. But, that which God made, man cannot revoke. That which God made is tended to, fruitful and full of life.
“He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate— bringing forth food from the earth: wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts. The trees of the Lord are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers” (Psalm 104:14-18).
Exit your cocoons. Step outside. Look around. Smell the air. See the skies. The green approaches. If it’s raining, it’s God watering the mountains from His upper chambers. If the sun is shining, the Lord is looking down with favor.
Oh, don’t be confused, oh my soul. What man made, man can revoke. But what God made, not man nor the devil can shake!
All things are inferior and subject to the hand of God.
