Good Morning Friends,
“The LORD Almighty has sworn, ‘Surely, as I
have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand.’”
(Isaiah 14:24)
There is one thing that is certain in this
life, one thing you can absolutely count on: what God declares will come to
pass!
Nothing can stand in the way of God accomplishing
what He has planned. There is no enemy powerful enough to thwart God’s plans. Satan
can’t. He tries, but always fails. In fact, God turns what Satan tries to use
to thwart His plan and uses it to accomplish it. That’s the promise of Romans
8:28, “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him,
who have been called according to his purpose.” The ultimate illustration of
that truth is in what God did with the cross!
Man’s cooperation is not required for God to
accomplish His plan. True, our cooperation would be helpful, but it’s not
required by God, it’s helpful for us! When we stand against God’s plan, we do
so to our own distress and pain. God’s plan will be accomplished with or
without our cooperation.
No force of nature or turn of circumstances
surprises God and makes Him change His plan. Every circumstance is foreseen by
God and works toward His plan.
God’s ultimate plan for this world has
already been declared: one day all things, including all people who have ever
lived, will bow in submission and worship to Him. Although we don’t see it yet,
it is absolutely certain. God has declared it.
His, by Grace,
Steve
