Does God Have Two Wills?

I have been confronted with the question "Is God's will perfectly done?" by some of my friends who tend along the line of free will or as some call free willies. I didn't think very much about the question, but blurted out an answer, "Of course God's will is always done!" Then my friend told me, "Well people don't obey the Ten Commandments, so God's will is not always done." That really caused me to think, and think hard and long. I never questioned whether God's will was always done, I stuck to my guns, because I knew that God was always in control. There was no question about that, but how to answer my friend, I found not so easy. So I began to meditate on the scripture, and dig in the bible for answers. I also read a sermon suggested by James Spurgeon by John Piper "Does God have two wills." I didn't really find any kind of new revelation in there, but some useful information to help guide me.

The more I studied the scripture, the more reverence I found for God and his authority, that he has to be in control. I mean just think about if God was not in control, who would run things and keeps all things going? I can't think of anyone can you? and I sure wouldn't want God to ask me because I would truly mess things up. Thankfully God doesn't ask me, nor would consider asking me.

Have you ever thought about if something changed that God did not know about or want to happen. Something that happened outside his control, that would surprise him, and he would have to turn his attention off of what ever he was previously doing, and assess and make a decision about something else. The results would be catastrophic, and devastating none the less.

I often think about this TV show I watched when I was a kid, where this guy would travel through these worm holes to other worlds, which were all similar to his. On this one episode, he traveled back in time, and was able to change the past. You know fix things that would naturally go wrong in the future. Well at the very end of the show, I believe they stopped this guy from commiting murder, and when they did it, they disrupted time itself, because it could not cope with the change. When that happened a big huge black hole formed and began to suck everything into it. Well the people escaped through their worm hole, but that hole world was sucked into the abyss or black hole.

When I think about God's will, that is what I think about. God's will is so perfect, and is accomplished so perfectly and with order. That if it were disrupted, the whole world would be sucked into some kind of black hole. Kind of strange, I know. Luckily, I will never have to worry about such a thing ever happening, because I serve a God who is in control and executes everything from his heavenly kingdom, with such percise perfection, that not one thing occurs that he did not perfectly decree.

Praise God, that he is not just a God, who just checks in on us every once in a while to see what is going on, and fix a thing here and there, answer a prayer here, perform a miracle there. No, he is a God who knows all and is all powerful, and executes his council without first consulting man.

I hope to post my thoughts on God's will, over the next few postings. I am finding, that having an understanding in your head of God's word is one thing. Conveying them in speech or writing is another. I am glad that James Spurgeon has introduced me to the bloggosphere, where I can post my thoughts. I encourage feed back, because it challenges my thinking, and helps me look at other things that I over look out of ignorance. So please, I invite your feed back.
