God's ways are not man's ways. So sometimes God's ways appear illogical. For example:

Gideon
Judges 7:1-8


Q: Why whittle a 32,000-man army down to 300 men and expect any kind of victory?

A: Judges 7:2




Naaman
2 Kings 5:1-19
Q: Since the Arameans were enemies of Israel, why would the LORD use a Syrian, Naaman, to give victory to the Arameans against Israel?

A: 2 Kings 5:2-3


Q: Offended, Naaman asked why not wash in better looking rivers back in Damascus rather than in the Jordan River to heal his skin disease?

A: 2 Kings 5:15 and 2 Kings 5:17-18




Jesus
Luke 4:14-27

Q: Jesus said that many Israeli's had skin diseases during Elisha's lifetime, but only Naaman of Syria was healed. Why did this make the Nazareth synagoge men so angry?

A: Luke 4:22


Q: How did Jesus walk through the crowd and not get thrown off the cliff?

A: Luke 4:29-30
Paul and Silas
Acts 16:22-25
Q: Why did Paul and Silas sing songs to God from jail after being beaten with rods?

A: 2 Corinthians 1:9-10
Peter
2 Peter 3:9
Q: Why doesn't God always stop his enemies from doing evil and hurting his people?

A: Daniel 3:16-18

Q: Why is God so swift to act sometimes (like the fiery furnace) and so slow other times?

A: 2 Peter 3:3-9
Good deeds
Ezekiel 33:12-13
Q: Why don't people get credit for their good deeds, so they outweigh any acts of disobedience?

A: Ezekiel 33:12-13

Q: Is this fair?

A: Acts 17:27-31
The Gospel
Romans 10:1-17

Q: After centuries of hearing from God, Jewish logic didn't lead to the right conclusions about righteousness. Can anyone be right with God?

A: Romans 10:1-4

Q: How is salvation even possible?

A: Romans 10:8-17

Reading about Biblical enemies yesterday, the closest I found in the Old Testament to Jesus' command to love our enemies was Hannah's prayer in 1 Samuel 2:1 -
"And Hannah prayed and said:
'My heart rejoices in the LORD;
My horn is exalted in the LORD.
I smile at my enemies,
Because I rejoice in Your salvation.'"
Does anyone know of another "love your enemies" example? OK, Samson also comes to mind but.....
