What Does the Lord Understand? part 2

A continuation of excerpts from Dr. Jay Wimberly's sermon notes of a message delivered September 7, 2003 to The Main Street Baptist Church in Auburndale, FL. The text is from Micah 4:12:

But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.




What does the Lord understand about the heavens and earth?


God is Creator. Genesis 1:1. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."


God is sole Owner and Proprietor. Psalm 24:1-2. "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."


God's will is supreme. Jeremiah 18:6. "O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel."


God is to be respected, regarded: heard and heeded. Romans 9:20-21. "Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?"


God understands that He made this world, that it belongs to Him, and He has full property rights over all that is here.
