Who am I? My relationship with God hrough prayer (part 26)


God is not only a savior, and a listener to prayer, and a deliverer, but he also commands evil and good spirits. The passage in 1 Samuel 16:16-23 describes how only David playing for Saul could sooth him from the effects of the evil spirit that was sent by God. And not only does He command spirits, but He commands creation. Genesis is the perfect example of what He did during the initial days of His creation and His divine guidance, even to the creation of man and woman. He planned this, He planned for man to be created and woman after the man. He knew that man and woman would eventually sin and therefore be thrown out of the garden and so He planned for the coming of His son to show the way back to Him, and His plans came to fruition. And God also plans for certain people to be together in marriage or in friendship. God planned for Rebekah to marry Isaac, in Genesis 24:11-23, and this came to fruition. And He planned that all mankind would come to Him. That comes to fruition in Christ, when we accept Him as Lord and Savior.
