Who Does He Think He Is? by Frank
Hall Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is
my own? Matthew 20, 15 How dare people
walk their pets on leashes to control them? How dare parents
force their children to obey their rules? How dare employers
insist that their employees do their jobs? How dare governors
rule over the people? How dare policemen take criminals
to jail without their permission? How dare God have His way with
His creatures? How dare the potter make one
vessel unto honor and another unto dishonor? How dare God love
and hate whom He will? How dare God the Father choose
to save whom He will? How dare God the Son die for
whom He will? How dare God the Spirit call
whom He will? How dare the Almighty have His
way with all men, in all places, at all times? How dare God save
and damn whom He will? How dare God judge us? How dare
God call us into question? How dare the indisputable sovereign
of the universe do what he pleases, when he pleases, where he pleases,
how he pleases, and with whom he pleases? Who does he think
he is, God? Our God is in the heavens. He
does whatever he pleases. Psalm 115, 3. I know that the Lord is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods. The Lord does whatever
pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and
all their depths. Psalm 135, 5 and 6. All the peoples of the earth
are regarded as nothing. He does as He pleases with the
powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold
back His hand or say to Him, What have You done? Daniel 4,
35.
