Jeremiah 33:3
[3]Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Scriptural Foundation!
Psalm 139:1-18 NLT
O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. [2] You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. [3] You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. [4] You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. [5] You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. [6] Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand! [7] I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! [8] If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. [9] If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, [10] even there, your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. [11] I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night- [12], but even in darkness, I cannot hide from you. To you, the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. [13] You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. [14] Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous-how well I know it. [15] You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. [16] You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. [17] How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! [18] I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!
COMMENTARY!
God is the author and giver, the father and fountain, of all wisdom and understanding, Job 38:36.
The souls of men are nobler and more excellent beings than the stars of heaven themselves and shine more brightly. The powers and faculties of reason with which man is endued, and the wonderful performances of thought, bring him into some alliance to the blessed angels and whence comes this light, but from the Father of lights?
Who else has put wisdom into the inner parts of man and given understanding to the heart?
1. The rational soul itself and its capacities come from him as the God of nature for he forms the spirit of man within him. We did not make our own souls, nor can we describe how they act, nor how they are united to our bodies. He only that made them knows them, and knows how to manage them.
He fashioneth men’s hearts alike in some things, and yet unlike in others
2. True wisdom, with its furniture and improvement, comes from him as the God of grace and the Father of every good and perfect gift. Shall we pretend to be wiser than God when we have all our wisdom from him?
No, shall we pretend to be wise above our sphere and beyond the limits which he that gave us our understanding sets to it? He designed we should with it serve God and do our duty, but never intended we should with it set up for directors of the stars or the lightning.
Election and predestination, which are the secret springs whence the others flow, Ephesians 1:4,5,11.
Election, or choice, respects that lump or mass of mankind out of which some are chosen, from which they are separated and distinguished.
Predestination has respect to the blessings they are designed for particularly the adoption of children, it being the purpose of God that in due time we should become his adopted children, and so have a right to all the privileges and to the inheritance of children.
We have here the date of this act of love: it was before the foundation of the world not only before God’s people had a being, but before the world had a beginning for they were chosen in the counsel of God from all eternity. It magnifies these blessings to a high degree that they are the products of eternal counsel.
The alms which you give to beggars at your doors proceed from a sudden resolve but the provision which a parent makes for his children is the result of many thoughts, and is put into his last will and testament with a great deal of solemnity.
And, as this magnifies divine love, it secures the blessings to God’s elect for the purpose of God according to election shall stand.
He acts in pursuance of his eternal purpose in bestowing spiritual blessings upon his people. He hath blessed us according as he hath chosen us in him, in Christ the great head of the election, who is emphatically called God’s elect, his chosen and in the chosen Redeemer an eye of favour was cast upon them.
Observe here one great end and design of this choice: chosen that we should be holy not because he foresaw they would be holy, but because he determined to make them so.
All who are chosen to happiness as the end are chosen to holiness as the means. Their sanctification, as well as their salvation, is the result of the counsels of divine love; And without blame before him that their holiness might not be merely external and an outward appearance, so as to prevent blame from men, but internal and real, and what God himself, who looketh at the heart, will account such, such holiness as proceeds from love to God and to our fellow-creatures, this charity being the principle of all true holiness.
The original word signifies such an innocence as no man can carp at and therefore some understand it of that perfect holiness which the saints shall attain in the life to come, which will be eminently before God, they being in his immediate presence forever.
It is according to the purpose, the fixed and unalterable will, of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will (Ephesians 1:11), who powerfully accomplishes whatever concerns his elect, as he has wisely and freely fore-ordained and decreed, the last and great end and design of all which is his own glory: To the praise of the glory of his grace (Ephesians 1:6), that we should be to the praise of his glory (Ephesians 1:12), that is, that we should live and behave ourselves in such a manner that his rich grace might be magnified, and appear glorious, and worthy of the highest praise.
Here is also the rule and the fontal cause of God’s election: it is according to the good pleasure of his will (Ephesians 1:5), not for the sake of anything in them foreseen, but because it was his sovereign will, and a thing highly pleasing to him.
All is of God, and from him, and through him, and therefore all must be to him, and center in his praise.
Note: the glory of God is his own end, and it should be ours in all that we do through our self will choices.
