Because of sin, not everything we see and experience is running according to God’s will and intentions. There is what God intended and did. There is also what we chose contrary to God’s will and we are experiencing it.

Our Bible text today tells us that there is what God did. It was simple, straightforward, good and understandable. What God did was uncomplicated.

The Bible also tells us today that there is what is the result of our choices and involvement. That which is directly attributed to us. It’s complicated, it’s twisted, it’s tangled up and hard to crack!

Matthew 5:37 – All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

When the Bible explains the Sabbath to be the day after Good Friday when Jesus died. Then the Bible calls Sunday when Jesus resurrected, the first day of the week.

The Bible has no command for Sunday to be kept as a day of worship. Any other long unbiblical explanation can’t be from God!

Someone will help you go abroad? With Visa complications? With scarce jobs? With straightforward ways not working? With themselves and their relatives not gone abroad?

If it’s complicated it’s not of God and it’s regrettable.

If someone engages in suspicious behavior, cheating in relationships or stealing money or whatever, what is the explanation? It should be simple and straightforward and sensible. If it’s complicated and mind boggling, it’s suspicious and it’s not from God. Complicated means guilty as charged!
