Psalms 24:1-5 (KJV)
"The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation."
I am not one of the "sharpest knives in the drawer", but it would seem to me since GOD made the earth and the fulness thereof that HE can do whatever HE pleases. HE allows "us" to make some choices to display our fallibility.
The enemy can only do what he is allowed to do by my GOD. Sometimes even the enemy proclaims that the GOD of Abraham is LORD!! Exodus 14:4 says "that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD"! GOD then orchestrated the Egyptians to go to their own demise in verse 25. ".....so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians."
Why did he not just kill the Egyptians on the way to the Red Sea? Why did the Israelites have to be put into "panic" mode? Why do I have to be put into panic mode sometimes?
GOD loves to be praised!!! Psalms 22:3 says HE inhabits (lives for) our praise. When we are praising HIM we find our troubles seem less cumbersome. Psalms 145:2-3 "Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable." I WILL PRAISE THE LORD!!
