There is this fine line between human choice and divine influence. I think it is a blurry line for the most part. Today’s reading is clear – again – that God has influence! Here is an ungodly king of an ungodly kingdom (they worship many gods but remain ungodly because only the one true God can make you godly), and “the Lord moved the heart of Cyrus…” A revelation of God was obviously given to Cyrus and he acted on it! Have you given up on Obama? God could move his heart too! There is nobody, and I mean nobody beyond God’s influence. My tendency is to understand the wickedness of the human heart and think that everyone is Pharaoh and only hardens their hearts against God, but even Pharaoh finally gave way.
God, keep in my mind your great ability to change people – everyone – and have them carry out your desires. I don’t have to understand why some don’t seem to God, I just want to have faith in your greatness and your ability.
