THE PHRASE “WEAL AND WOE” MEANS BOTH IN TIMES OF HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS AND IN TIMES OF SADNESS AND DIFFICULTY.
ISAIAH 45:7 NRSV BIBLE SAYS- I FORM LIGHT AND CREATE DARKNESS,I MAKE WEAL AND CREATE WOE; I THE LORD DOES ALL THESE THINGS.
WHY IS THE LORD CLAIMING THAT HE HAS THE AUTHORITY TO SADNESS AND DIFFICULT, HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS, LIGHT AND DARKNESS, WEAL AND WOE?
ISN’T GOD OUR CREATOR, DOES NOT HE KNOW WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT WE DO NOT, WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS BAD FOR US THEN WHY DO WE DO THINGS WITHOUT CONSULTING HIM, WHY ARE WE IN SUCH A HASTE TO ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING BY OURSELVES, DON'T WE THINK HE IS WORTHY ENOUGH TO GIVE US OUR NEEDS? HAS HE NEVER FULFILLED OUR DESIRES? WITH EVERY SITUATION THAT CAME AGAINST US HAS HE NOT BROUGHT US OUT OF IT SAFELY?
WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND ONE THING, THERE IS NO GOD LIKE JEHOVAH, THERE IS NOTHING DONE ON THIS EARTH WITHOUT HIM, GOD FORMED THE LIGHT AND CREATED THE DARKNESS-LIGHT, IN THE BIBLE IS THE EMBLEM OF KNOWLEDGE, INNOCENCE, PURE RELIGION AND OF PROSPERITY IN GENERAL; AND DARKNESS IS THE EMBLEM OF THE OPPOSITE. LIGHT HERE SEEMS TO BE THE EMBLEM OF PEACE AND PROSPERITY, AND DARKNESS THE EMBLEM OF ADVERSITY.
ON THE WHOLE THE ABOVE VERSE SAYS THAT ALL THING PROSPEROUS AND ADVERSE ARE UNDER THE PROVIDENTIAL CONTROL AND DIRECTION OF GOD.
THERE ARE AT TIMES WE WONDER WHY SO MUCH OF WICKEDNESS AND EVIL TAKING PLACE AROUND US, DID ANYONE FOR A SECOND THINK THAT GOD COULD HAVE LET IT HAPPEN BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE, IN SPITE OF GOD TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WITHIN HIM TO SAVE HIS CHILDREN FROM ETERNAL DEATH YET THEY ARE LIVING LIVES CAREFREE.
PRAYER: FATHER GOD MAY WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CARE AND LOVE FOR US AND ALSO IT IS IN YOUR STRENGTH TO BLESS US WITH LOVE, JOY, PEACE, HAPPINESS, SUCCESS JUST EVERYTHING BUT ALL THIS WE ARE BLESSED WITH ONLY IF WE WALK IN OBEDIENCE TO YOUR WORD OUR WEAL AND WOE ARE IN YOUR HANDS. IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME I PRAY AMEN AMEN AND AMEN.
