\nTie\u0161i to Dievs vienm\u0113r bija v\u0113l\u0113jies no sava vec\u0101 drauga \u0100brah\u0101ma p\u0113cn\u0101-

\nAr savu sp\u0113ku un varu Dievs rad\u012bja pla\u0161o Visumu. Ta\u010du pat \u0161\u012b bezgal\u012bg\u0101 vara

\nAr sp\u0113ku un varu Dievs izgl\u0101ba savu tautu no \u0112\u0123iptes g\u016bsta un iek\u0101rtoja

\n\u201cBet ar Manu Garu,\u201d saka Tas Kungs Cebaots
\nTas nebija sp\u0113ka vai varas tr\u016bkums, kas lika Dievam pasludin\u0101t \u0161\u0101du v\u0113sti
\nZerub\u0101belam. Tas bija \u201cVisvarenais Kungs Cebaots\u201d, kas run\u0101ja caur pravieti.
\nKur\u0161 gan lab\u0101k zin\u0101tu sp\u0113ka pielietojuma robe\u017eas? Da\u017ei izprot Caharijas 4:6
\nt\u0101, ka Dieva m\u0113r\u0137i nevar tikt pan\u0101kti ar cilv\u0113ku sp\u0113ku vai varu, bet tikai ar
\nDieva pa\u0161a sp\u0113ku un varu. Tom\u0113r tas ir pretrun\u0101 ar rakstvietu, kur st\u0101st\u012bts,
\n35
\nk\u0101 darbojas Sv\u0113tais Gars.
\nTo, ko Dievs visvair\u0101k v\u0113las, \u2013 ilgsto\u0161u mieru, br\u012bv\u012bbu, uztic\u0113\u0161anos un drau-
\ndz\u012bbu \u2013 nevar pan\u0101kt ar sp\u0113ku un nepavisam ne iebaidot. Ja viss, ko Dievs v\u0113las,
\nb\u016btu padev\u012bba un bezierunu paklaus\u012bba, Vi\u0146\u0161 to var\u0113tu dab\u016bt jebkur\u0101 mirkl\u012b. \u201cUz

\nVi\u0146\u0161 lab\u0101k nomirtu, nek\u0101 vald\u012btu ar sp\u0113ku, iedvesdams bailes. Un reiz, lai to uz

\nJ\u0113zus izskaidroja, k\u0101 darbojas Sv\u0113tais Gars. Vi\u0146\u0161 m\u0101ca, Vi\u0146\u0161 p\u0101rliecina, Vi\u0146\u0161
\naicina. Nav t\u0101, ka Garam piemistu maz\u0101k sp\u0113ka vai varas nek\u0101 T\u0113vam un D\u0113-
\nlam, jo Vi\u0146\u0161 ar\u012b ir Dievs. Bet Vi\u0146\u0161 \u012bpa\u0161i darbojas ar visliel\u0101ko un notur\u012bg\u0101ko
\nvaru \u2013 p\u0101rliecino\u0161o paties\u012bbas sp\u0113ku. P\u0101vils run\u0101 par paties\u012bbas sp\u0113ku, lai atg\u016btu
\ncilv\u0113ku uztic\u0113\u0161anos (skat. Rom. 1:17).
\nBet ne visi atz\u012bst \u0161o varu. T\u0101 iedarbojas tikai uz tiem, kas ir gatavi ieklau-
\ns\u012bties, \u2013 tiem, kurus dzi\u013ci savi\u013c\u0146ojis nevis Sinaja kalna p\u0113rkons, bet gan maig\u0101
