0569 Omnipotence and wisdom.... not arbitrariness.... arrogance....

September 4, 1938: Book 12

Everything created by Me on earth is based on a wise intention, and in order to understand this I will guide you into the sphere where you will learn to understand spiritually.... And even if it seems to you that God only acts arbitrarily, one look at the divine creation is enough and you will realise that your thinking was far wrong.... If you connect yourselves with spiritual strength, all earthly heaviness will fall away from you; likewise, all spiritual work will proceed better and better if the spirit is able to separate itself from all matter. Now you will noticeably receive those powers that make you capable of achieving extraordinary things.... In the same way the spirit of God reigns in nature in the same relationship to the things that stand outside of the directed creation.... i.e., the omnipotence of God will always express itself in matter, but the wisdom of the divine creator in the spiritual.... Since wisdom and omnipotence are manifested in every work of creation, each of these works will not owe its existence to the arbitrariness of God, but will have been created for a specific purpose and meaning.

Everything will correspond to a wise meaning and thus radiate and testify to the wisdom of God in both spiritual and material respects to every thinking person. However, all references to such a kind of well-planned creation are not enough for the human being to fully believe and trust in divine omnipotence, but the human being always quarrels with God about his fate imposed on him and does not recognize all measures of the eternal deity as wise and well-considered.... He grumbles and complains and yet cannot comprehend in his small mind how little power of judgement he himself possesses.... Can a person even presume to criticize or condemn what ever happens through the will of God? And yet man so often transgresses the commandment to love God.... In deepest humility he should accept everything that comes upon him, whether good or bad, and always bear in mind that everything corresponds to a wise purpose. If he strives to develop his spirit, he must soon realise that he experiences such a visible intervention of the eternal deity in all events and that all threads of eternal creation emanate from this deity.... Thus the entire universe is proof of the divine love which manifests itself in all things on and above the earth and testifies to His infinite wisdom and omnipotence....

Amen
