Is the Lord being facetious or is He challenging us to rise up and deliver ourselves?<p>Only in His PlanOfSalvation and in the DayOfTheLord does He do things unilaterally.   In all other events in which He is a player, He involve us.  He partners with us in the day to day affairs of men as we walk in His WordOfTruth and are led by His SpiritOfTruth.
