The Way Things Are
“For He spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood fast.” (Psalm 33:9)
Most people, at some point, will question why things are the way they are. It is almost inevitable that with the inquisitive minds God has given us, we as humans are drawn to why rules exist. From the scientific laws of the natural world to the laws of ethics laid down in Scripture – we have questions.
Having questions isn’t unhealthy. It is part of what makes us human and even necessary at times if we desire to take dominion of this world as God has commanded us to, but all avenues of questioning lead to the same destination. God is why. God is why the world works the way it does. God is why certain things are right and certain things are wrong. He speaks, and it is done. We can no more change the rules of the Bible than we can change the laws of physics.
The Bible tells us the way things are. It isn’t proposing an option for how to live your life; it is describing how life is. It is because God made it so, and His Word endures forever.
