“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
Unlike us, God does not think hateful and malicious thoughts. He doesn’t plot revenge or how to “get even”. There is not one evil thought in his being and he is incapable of evil actions! He’s a perfect God. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. We couldn’t even begin to understand what they could be with our own limited minds. But what we do know, is that his thoughts toward us will never be evil.
Our sinless God never had to earn his power or be “worthy” of it. He’s always been and always will be. He is always just and righteous. While we continuously stray and make decisions we know He’s advised us not to make, He won’t wipe us off the face of the earth. His thoughts are peaceful and just. He rebukes us and chastens us, but He is never violent. He gets angry, but unlike us, He doesn’t make wrong and hasty decisions based off of His anger. His anger is a just anger. Not a bullying and evil anger.
He is peaceful and righteous. His decisions and thoughts are His and His alone. Though we may never understand them on this earth, we can trust that everything He does is for our good and protection. We don’t need to worry or fear that He’s angry with us. He comforts us with the knowledge that His thoughts are peaceful, never evil.
It’s so amazing that we have an incorruptible God, who’s overcome this world, knows the outcome of our lives, and still chooses to love and direct us! We can live a life of abundance through him because we have security in knowing that He will never fail us, He will supply our every need, and He keeps us safe!
