Justin Taylor recently wrote in his blog on the book of Joshua, answering the question about how God could have commanded the destruction of the Canaanites.
Justin covered several themes that are also vitally important to understanding God’s authority and intentionality with regards to creating some people with disabilities:
- As the maker of all things and the ruler of all people, God has absolute rights of ownership over all people and places.
- God is not only the ultimate maker, ruler, and owner, but he is just and righteous in all that he does.
- All of us deserve God’s justice; none of us deserve God’s mercy
The Bible is remarkably consistent about describing God, whether it is about the weather, war, disability or election: God is sovereign over all things.
