Isaiah 64:4 - "For from days of old they have not heard
or perceived by ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who acts in behalf
of the one who waits for Him."
During the so-called "Age of Reason," notables
such as Voltaire considered God, at best, to be a God detached from intimate
concern over His creation. American counterparts during this time included
Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson. Their human intellect
reasoned if there truly was a God, then why did He not intervene more demonstrably
in the cause of mankind?
What they failed to "reason" was how God's nature
is always to intervene on behalf of those who seek and wait for Him. It was His
nature to intervene by sending His Son on our behalf. Why would He not likewise
intercede for us in every detail of our lives if it is clearly in His nature to
move heaven and earth on our behalf? This, my friends, is only reasonable.
