All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (II Timothy 3:16 ESV)
Scripture
In the one football game that I was the sole coach and play-caller, I spoke to the opposing coach after the game. I had won, you see. I had won dramatically, with skill and strategy.
And I wanted him to know HOW I had beaten him. So I described my tactics, plans, and ability.
I do not think he appreciated the conversation.
I spoke to him for MY sake. Because it made ME feel good.
God is not like me.
He created the universe, and has providentially worked in history and today, and will continue to do so tomorrow. He has a wonderful plan involving His people, His Son, His Kingdom, and every proton, neutron, and electron.
And He has no reason to tell us anything about it. He is not required to explain Himself to us. He is not forced to describe His motivation, His activities, or His goals.
But He does so, eloquently.
Because He Graciously decided to do so.
God’s Word, the Bible, is another act of God’s Grace.
What a blessing that Grace is.
