Whatever the Lord pleased that did he
in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. He causeth the
vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the
rain; he bringeth the winds out of his treasuries. (Psalm 135:6-7)
We take a
look at these beautiful verses again. Verse 6 starts on a beautiful note. It
clearly tells us how the Lord operates. “Whatever
the Lord pleased that did he”, it is what pleases the Lord that he does. He
does it anywhere he chooses irrespective of the location; whether it is in
heaven, in the earth, in the seas and even in deep places God has dominion over
the events that go on in that location. Remember
we are sitted with Christ Jesus in heavenly places far above principalities in
heavenly places. So it is important that you understand that it pleases the
Lord that you have dominion over principalities and powers. Study to show
yourself approved a workman approved by God that is not ashamed; rightly
dividing the word of truth (2 timothy 2:15).
Clearly the
Lord has dominion in the earth because he made the earth and all that is in it.
When scripture tells you categorically that the Lord does what He pleases it is
true. For us His children to understand what pleases the Lord it is important
to study the word of God because therein lies the revelation of what pleases
the Lord. It pleases the Lord in 3 John 2 that we prosper and be in good health
even as our soul prospers. It pleases the Lord to think thoughts of good and
not evil to give you an expected end according to Jeremiah 29:11. It pleases
the Lord to give you power to make wealth according to Deuteronomy 8:18.
It pleases
the Lord that blessed you will be in your going out and when you also come in
(Deut. 28). It pleases the Lord that the
sun should not smite thee by day or the moon by night. It pleases Him that evil
shall not come near your dwelling place. He is the shade upon thy right hand
(Psalm 121). The list of the what pleases the Lord is endlessly so I implore
you to make out time and search out the goodies in God’s word and claim it
because we are his children and it is our entitlement in Jesus name.
“He
causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings
for the rain; he bringeth the winds out of his treasuries.” The Lord delights in the prosperity of the
righteous. He is the same God that causes vapour to ascend. Yes our God is that
detailed because he is a God of balance. The same God that allows the law of
gravity to operate is the same God that allows the law of aerodynamics.
Celebrate our God.
