[The Glory Unveiled]
So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “Look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” And he said, “In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.” [ 2 Kings 7:2 NIV ]
God does not act at the mercy of human emotions, opinions, or desires. He is not moved to act in order to prove Himself because people refuse to believe in Him. Neither is He compelled to act because people believe and expect Him to respond for their approval. God is not governed by human reactions. He is governed by His own eternal will. Therefore, He does what He has determined to do. And whenever it seems as though God is acting because of man, it is not because man has manipulated Him. It is because His mercy is at work. It is because His steadfast love is reaching out. It is because His compassion is overflowing. Not because anyone has pulled His strings. Scripture tells us of an officer in the army of the king of Samaria who boldly declared that even if God opened windows in heaven, the word spoken by the prophet Elisha could never come to pass. In his eyes, God’s promise was impossible. Now, if God operated according to human faith alone, that officer’s unbelief would have cancelled the miracle. If God depended on man’s confidence, nothing would have happened. But God acted anyway. He fulfilled His word. He honored His promise. He performed His purpose—despite the doubt, despite the mockery, despite the unbelief. Because God does not adjust His will to suit the instability of human desires. He does not rewrite His plans to accommodate changing emotions. He does not bend His purposes to fit human limitations. He does what He purposed before time began. And those who love Him, those who walk with Him, find their lives aligned with His good pleasure. When God speaks, He stands by His word. When God promises, He fulfills it. When God declares, He performs it. Not because of man’s faithfulness—but because of His own. Has God said it? Then He will do it. Not for reputation. Not for approval. Not for persuasion. But for the sake of His name.
