I’m not going to lie…I left class on Tuesday feeling slightly confused. We were given a lot to think about. The discussion about God hardening Pharaoh’s heart and comparing Him to the gods in The Iliad was a very sticky (as Dr. Mashburn would say) subject.
Are our God and our faith just like the gods in the Iliad? I do believe that there are some similarities. But our God has a plan for our lives and wants the best for us. He does not just have a relationship with us because he has nothing better to do! And I believe that was the reason for the gods’ interaction with the mortals in the Iliad. They did not have a divine plan, and I am so thankful that my God does!
The Lord works in extremely mysterious ways, and we will never fully understand everything that He does while we are living on this earth. Everything that He does is to show His glory, and that is also our job. Our number one goal should always be to bring Christ glory.
