Ps 73 4 They have no struggles;
their bodies are healthy and strong.
5 They are free from the burdens common to man;
they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace;
they clothe themselves with violence.
7 From their callous hearts comes iniquity ;
the evil conceits of their minds know no limits.
8 They scoff, and speak with malice;
in their arrogance they threaten oppression.
9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10 Therefore their people turn to them
and drink up waters in abundance.
11 They say, "How can God know?
Does the Most High have knowledge?"
God created the world according to His law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises. These 6 gifts describe the environment that is essential for unity and purpose in building all institutions. These building blocks of Gods government are the creation covenant that He established in the garden. This entire structure of Gods creation was built on the simplicity of these moral axioms that could not be broken.
But when sin entered the simple standards that brought about perfect unity and purpose began to be redefined by man. The simple law of God that ordered all institutions was replaced by mans complicated redefinition's. This is why God gave the law , covenants, curses, etc in pronouncements. All the generations since Adam have added to Gods law. Every addition to Gods law is an attempt by man to usurp Gods authority. But man is unable to overrule Gods pronouncements. Gods creation pronouncements spoken in a very simplistic vocabulary are swallowed up by Gods very complicated mysterious description of His work. We are satisfied in the simple pronouncement by being consumed in Gods eternal attributes that are the fabric of our own desires. We are made to live in freedom by being drawn into mystery.
Gods will cannot be thwarted. When man sinned , God exercised His sovereign will by cursing all creation.God views all reality from its beginning to its ending. God established His will by ordering all things in a spoken vocabulary. Every thought of reality including sin and destruction are controlled by Gods law, covenants etc. Man is unable to develop a philosophy in creation and renewal that can add to the number of ideas that break the boundaries of Gods limits. Even tho man is motivated by corruption to scheme and complicate Gods simple creation rules, he is swallowed up by these rules in Gods authority in pronouncing life and death.
God controls the health of the soul in creating hope, peace, love, joy and praise in the pronouncements of life. He takes away the strength, and the determination of man in the curse as a reflex in the power of death in responding to all rebellious wishes. The spirit of blessing that we pronounced on our lips , create the perfect order in defending and promoting unity as we rise to the perfect line of blessing and cursing. 16 When I tried to understand all this,
it was oppressive to me
