The Goodness of God leadth thee to repentance Roman 2:4. I am now in Chapter three of the book of expecting a miracle by Oral Roberts. In chapter three Oral has decided to leave his mother and father home to adventure off on his own. He is at a stage in his life were he thinks he knows it all and what he does know is that he does not want anything to do with God , or church. Oral even goes as far as to tell God to let him be! As I read this I thought to myself what would bring a young person to a point to tell God to remove his hand from their Life, to open up themselves to the devil`s territory. I guess it could be said that at that time he was not very mature spiritualy and mentaly to understand in depth who God was! But one thing we do know is what his parent taught him was about to come to life, for the bible tell us to train up a child in the way that they should go and when they are old they shall not depart from it! Yes he had seen miracles done, but I grasp that it did not take root in his life just yet. Oral ends up becoming sick and having to return home only to find out that he was in his final stage of TB. A sickness that effects the lungs and has him bed ridden and coughing up blood. But through it all Oral knew that God did not give him this disease for God is a Good God and the devil is bad! You know so many people say such foolish thing such as, “God gave me cancer so I could slow down in Life”. Or “God killed my Love one in a car accident”. I guess out of ignorance in not know who God is we put the blame of such evil things on God , when in fact the word of God tells us that that the devil comes to steal, KILL, and DESTROY but GOD came that we may have life and have it abundantly. In the midst of Oral turning his back on God and becoming deathly ill he never once blame God because he Knew that God was Good and the devil was bad. And what the devil meant for evil God was about to turn it around. Are their things in your life that you have blamed God about? Know that he is a Good and just God who does no harm. Jesus Loves you!
