Objection: You Never Know What God Will Do

This is a pseudo-scripture that gets quoted as if it were in the real Bible. See Proverbs 32:1-6 for some other such pseudo-scriptures.

Maybe you don’t know what God will do, but I do!  He will keep His Word.  He has exalted His Word above His name (Psalm 138:2).  It is forever settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89).  God cannot lie (Numbers 23:19), so whatever He said He will do is what He will do!

You’d better know what God will do, because if you don’t, you can’t possibly pray the prayer of faith!  How can you have the assurance of anything if you never know what God will do?  Faith takes God at His Word, knowing that He will perform what He promised.

I know that God will back His Word with signs and wonders when I preach it.  It’s not just because I’ve seen Him do it, it’s because that’s the Bible pattern in Mark 16:20.  I rely on Scripture, not experience, whether it’s my experience or anyone else’s, to know what God will do.

What good would it be for God to make ANY of the precious promises in the Bible if He could sovereignly violate even one of them?  Either His Word is good or it isn’t.  If you can’t be sure of a particular Scripture, you can’t be sure of John 3:16 either.

God gave us 66 books so that we CAN know what He will do!  His ways may be mysterious to the world, but they shouldn’t be mysterious to Christians.  If YOU want to know what God will do, read what He said He will do.
