There's a God and it's not us. It's why we need discernment. It's why we have to have wisdom. It's why we have to learn to listen to the spirit of God. It's why we have to be open to the word of God.

We want to take all the mystery out of God. We want to remove God from his sovereign place and

we want to scramble up on the thrones ourselves and deliver our edicts about what's right and wrong, good and evil.

We are creatures and we serve an Almighty God, our Creator, and we are dependent upon his counsel and his wisdom and his knowledge.

But if we ignore the truth of scripture, we close off all those insights.

what happens in the spiritual realm has a tremendous impact on what's happening in the earth.

If you only understand your life, if you only understand current events from the basis of social

economic patterns or conflicts between nation states, you know you have an

incomplete perspective.

I'm not saying that those aren't factors.
