tO| BIBLE ■ _ sms , By M. KmtlH >. fOBtMBK | SCRIPTURE: I Klnfi « 21-11 1» , DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalm* 33 12 22 His Hand in History Lesson for October 34. IMA SUPPOSE you were given a long flexible wire and were asked to arrange it on a pattern which would represent history, what would you do to it? Some people would cut “•* that wire into little bits and let them fl tall in a pile like H.. jackstraws. Htsto- ■ r *' ry. they would say. ■ flr>4<af. Is meaningless collection of disconnect'd eventsit has no real pat- MAU tem- Dr. Foreman Someone else would arrange the wire like a long arrow pointing upward; other* would make it into an arrow pointing downward; these would be the pure optimists and pessimists among historians. Others would arrange it is a series of up-and-down curves—history, they would say, sometimes goes up and sometimes down, but it never gets anywhere. Others again would make an immense circle; history goes around and around in cycles, repeating itself. Others still might take that wire and shape it into a kind of spiral, almost repeating itself but never quite, often seeming to go backward but actually making some progress • • • God’s Chosen People A GOOD deal of the Old Testament is taken up witn history Starting with Genesis and going through Esther, most of what you read is history But it is not mere chronicles, that is to say it is not » mere listing of events. The historical parts of the Bible were written by men who had a theory of history. They would agree that the Golden Age Is ahead of us, not behind. They would all agree that the most important figure in human history is not a human being at all. but God the Creator. They would all agree that his hand can be seen—if you look for it—in the events of man's existence here And they all affirm that among all the nations of the earth there was one which could be called truly God's chosen people, the tittle nation called Israel, the people we know as the Jews. The whole of Hebrew history is a sort of sermon on this text: Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. The history of any nation. ancient or modern, would illustrate that text just as well: only the Israelite historians saw H most clearly. They showed how. when their people followed God's leading and his laws, they prospered: when they went their own stupid, selfish ways they suffered. • • • Somehow Good ONE great lesson the Old Testa inent history teaches is that God's will is food, and that when man defies and disobeys that will he does it to his own destruction, but that God can bring good out of evil. People often act from bad mo fives, yet even the worst of motives God can overrule. David waded in blood to his throne and he United cruelly many of his enemies That was not good; yet God brought out of that a national independence and strength David put Holomon on the throne because be was the son of his favorite wife; that waa pure favoritism. Yet God brought good out of a choice which was selfish. When the Israelites were tempted to fall for the cheap and nasty gods whose' shrines filled the land, that was bad. but it gave the prophets their great opportunity to moke perfectly dear the difference be tween false and true religion • • • The Voice of God HISTORY is no bucket of ashes If you have ears to ttsien. it Is the voice of G«d These ancient tales of a nation long since dead that #v*d In all nearer flflfi years, carry God's voice to us today The diseases which are fatal to a oaiiow’s Mr are here described; the toandatteas on wh <h alone *ew wallows) welfare can be built are made qn te plala Uy to now. all nattows have per (sheet sooner or later We can see some of them decaying In <>ur own lime That is because no rwtwwi ever yet has built its We am God's deali n But the pattern is th-ew the lesson has been written God still waits for a people who will, tear, his lessor fn bow to live Praa toaMrareira*. gsteased to WfifV ffcWK- •• • • I
