Your circumstances are unique, but not impossible for the LORD. “Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son” (Genesis 18:14 KJV). Sarah was well past child bearing age, but the LORD promised Sarah would bear a son. Humanly speaking, who could blame her for shaking her head in disbelief and disagreeing? But, God had just made a promise! All of our circumstances require us to work out a solution of faith, where our comprehension of the LORD grows, as we deal with His Word’s application to us. Don’t just look for a solution to your problem, but look for a greater appreciation and understanding of the LORD. “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” (2Peter 3:18). By the way, shortly after the LORD’s promise to 89-year-old Sarah, the LORD must have increased her outward beauty, as well as her physical vitality to bear a child, for King Abimelech desired and took Sarah to be his wife — but, God made him give her back to Abraham (Genesis 20). Father, cause us to respond to life, so that we grow closer in our relationship to You. Cause us to grow in awesome wonder of who You reveal Yourself to us to be. Lord Jesus, return quickly. Amen.
Omnipotence of God
Drones, AI, ChatGPT, and Deep Fake
As the population ages and diminishes in capabilities — drones, AI, ChatGPT, and Deep Fake are exponentially increasing, making the future increasingly harder to predict or control. A Luddite response against technology based upon a Terminator fear of loss of control fosters the question, Can the creation become greater than its creator? With man this is possible, but in no possible universe can the creature become greater than the Almighty Creator. “And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days” (Mark 13:20 KJV). All glory to our Omnipotent God!
God Is, Therefore I Am
God is, therefore I am. “God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them” (Genesis 1:27 KJV). With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), we are now discussing sentience (consciousness) and awareness like ancient philosophers defining reality. To be clear, the creature is not greater than the Creator; otherwise, Yahweh would cease to be all powerful. In no actual universe does less power trump all power. Our adversary specializes in frightening us with power that pales alongside the omnipotence of the LORD God. Just ask Elijah after the defeat of the prophets of Baal. The Almighty does not wake up in a cold sweat frightened of any adversary. “But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear Him” (Luke 12:5 KJV). By the way, Yahweh wins! “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever” (Revelation 20:10 KJV). Hallelujah!
Belief in Creation in 17th Century Thought
Belief in creation in 17th century thought fueled the rise of modern science. Christianity’s belief in an omnipotent, precise, and predictable Creator compelled Galileo, Newton, and Boyle. Instead of questioning if Christianity really motivated the rise of modern science, a better question would be, why just then did the Almighty allow it? “But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another” (Psalm 75:7 KJV).
