Solace in Determinism: Designed By God’s Mind & Functioning By God’s Power

Within this realm confined, we dwell as mere mortals, shackled by earth’s limited dimension.

At times, events take place that we are unable to comprehend or provide a logical explanation for. During those moments, we feel a sense of being overwhelmed or lacking control.

It is crucial to keep in mind that our existence in this vast universe is not an isolated phenomenon, and we hold no ultimate control over any aspect of it.

There exists a divine power, beyond our limited comprehension.

He is meticulously orchestrating a plan that transcends our understanding.

We can have Faith in the notion that God diligently shapes every single event towards the ultimate good, even when circumstances seem overpowering or perplexing to our human senses.

Scripture Reads:

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” — Isaiah 55:8–9

It is crucial for us to find comfort in the realization that God has meticulously designed the workings of the Heavens to operate in a deterministic manner, governing all material aspects.

“… on earth as it is in Heaven…”

All events and circumstances, both positive and negative, are ultimately influenced and guided by a predetermined plan known as fate. This suggests that our struggles and challenges are not mere coincidences or random occurrences, but are instead part of a grand design that shapes our life journey.

Fate is believed to be a force beyond our control that orchestrates the course of events, ensuring that everything unfolds according to a predetermined arrangement.

Thus, our struggles serve a greater purpose in the intricate tapestry of our lives, ultimately leading us towards our destined path.

The concept of having no control over a situation can be quite unsettling for many individuals. It is often challenging for people to accept this idea, as it may evoke strong emotional responses that hinder their ability to perceive the situation objectively. These emotional reactions can cloud one’s judgment and prevent them from fully understanding the reality of their lack of control.

However, I now, after spiraling totality out of control, perceive these experiences as valuable opportunities for personal growth, self-discovery, and a deeper understanding and appreciation of the intricate path that life unfolds before us.

Jesus says “apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

Dependent on God

We Aren’t Made To Carry The World On Our Shoulders

In recognizing this, we can find a sense of peace and assurance.

Why is there peace and assurance?

Because we understand, if we introspect truthfully at our existences and the existences of every other entity on the planet; we are not to be trusted.

By trust I mean — REALLY TRUST!!!

Our comprehension of Trust tends to be overshadowed and diluted by the fact that many of us have not truly encountered it in its purest form, except when it comes to our relationship with God.

Biblical trust is: “a bold, confident, sure security or action based on that security.”

Understanding the deterministic nature of God and His creation entails recognizing that there is a supreme deity, above all other gods and lords, who exercises complete control over every facet of the reality we perceive, our emotions, thoughts, sensory perceptions, understanding, and comprehension, among other things. It encompasses grasping the notion that this divine entity governs all aspects of existence, leaving no room for chance or free will. In essence, it is a profound realization that God’s omnipotence extends to every dimension of our experience and understanding.

In determinism’s embrace, we are secure and in conscious unity with the security, casting no shadow of a doubt like so often we do.

The SEO optimized version: The Potential resides in Understanding that the cosmos is constant and destined for a Magnificent outcome, as all elements collaborate for positive results, for those who Adore the Almighty.

Gaining a profound understanding that our life experiences are not haphazard or devoid of meaning but actually serve a greater purpose, one that ultimately brings us a sense of joy and fulfillment that surpasses the depths of suffering we encounter in the present.

What Is Determinism?

BASIC DEFINITION:

Determinism means that every event unfolds according to the fixed laws of physics and mathematics.

Every event that has happened, or will happen, anywhere, at any point in space and time is part of God’s grand design.

All things were foreknown and foreordained by Him, every moment of every day, from the beginning of existence to its ultimate conclusion.

Nothing occurs outside of His perfect plan and wisdom.

It is indeed a tough concept for us to fully understand since we exist in a temporal dimension and experience life through linear time.

It can be difficult to accept that we are not always in control of everything.

However, even if we do not yet understand or comprehend the grand design, we can still trust in God.

Through faith, we can know that everything that happens is for a reason and that God has a plan. Even when we cannot see the bigger picture, we can trust and have faith that God is working for our good.

I understand that facing one’s mortality can be an uncomfortable experience.

However, when we have faith in the concept of eternity, this uneasy feeling can undergo a remarkable transformation into a sense of security.

Though we may feel uncertain or overwhelmed due to the challenges of this earthly life, we can find solace in the knowledge that there is an everlasting, divine Order which is beyond our comprehension.

We are only experiencing a temporary moment in time.

Yet, the world is ruled by unchanging and eternal equations that were set in place by the Master of the universe.

By trusting in the Will of God, we can find peace and security knowing that His path is leading us to Truth and everything in accordance, is according to His perfect plan.

We don’t have it all together, let’s stop pretending we do.

He’s got the WHOLE world in His Hands!

🙏🏻❤️
