Christopher J. H. Wright provides a great caution against a simplistic application of biblical narratives. He writes.
“But we cannot turn stories about what God did do—stories that indeed do demonstrate what God can do—into blank-cheque promises about what God will do, or must do for you, me, and everyone.”
