From the CANON on this blog:
Solutions
1.
God is omnipotent and therefore can solve any problem. He may choose to use the solutions listed
below, but he often provides in ways you could have never imagined. The poor should cry out to God for help,
rather than depending on Baal.
From today’s devotional:
Trusting God is a
foundational principle in the Christian life. We are expected to accept that
God is perfect in love, infinite in wisdom, and sovereign in control. We don’t
automatically grasp these truths at the moment of salvation; rather, we learn
them over time. Of these three facts, however, the one we most seem to doubt is
the Lord’s love for us. However, Scripture gives us three proofs to rely upon
when our certainty starts to waver.
Character
love—God’s very nature is love (1
John 4:8). The Bible also tells us that God is light and there is no
darkness in Him (1
John 1:5). In other words, there’s nothing sinful or imperfect in His
character. If the Father is perfect and loving, He will never mistreat one of
His children.
Calvary
love—Jesus' sacrificial death on
the cross for our sins provides irrefutable evidence of divine love. The
Father's heart for humanity was revealed when He gave His Son to die in our
place. Through Christ, salvation is available to all, but He would have made
the same choice if you had been the only person on earth.
Covenant
love—God is committed to making
us heirs (Hebrews
8:10). We know that when we receive Jesus Christ as our Savior, we become
children of God. Our immaturity is the reason He is patient and kind to us. God
sees us as we are—little ones learning to navigate in our short-term earthly
home.
As growing
believers, we can't trust God if we doubt His devotion. Thankfully, we possess
these amazing proofs. It is the heavenly Father's very nature to love, which He
demonstrated at the cross and continues to prove by adopting us as His sons and
daughters.
Commentary:
Trusting God is a
foundational principle in the Christian life. We are expected to accept that
God is perfect in love, infinite in wisdom, and sovereign in control. With that knowledge, there is absolutely no
need for being dependent on Baal.
