Prov. 19:21 You can make many plans, but the LORD’s purpose will
prevail.
We must understand and accept this wonderful truth. The Lord is on
the throne of heaven and His purpose will prevail. We like to be in control of
our own destiny. We like to have a say in how things are going to work out for
us in life. We like to determine our own paths. We work hard to make our lives
become what we want them to be.
However, our plans may not be in line with God’s purposes. In fact, His purpose for life may be
drastically different than our plans. We can prevent His purpose from becoming
a reality in us by our stubborn refusal to let Him have His way with us. But
when that happens, His greater plan of judgment will prevail. We can either
live the life He plans for us or we can become victims of our plans. It’s a
choice we all make in life.
The Lord’s purpose for life is redemption. It is why we exist and
why He came. He will save all those who come to Him. He will redeem and purify
His people and make them fit for His eternal kingdom. He will give them hope, peace, joy and a
reason to live. He will forgive all
those who come to Him. He will instill
in the heart a desire for Him and a willingness to live for Him.
Let this marvelous truth encourage you today. The Lord’s purpose
for your life will prevail if you walk humbly before Him. He will make you into
the person He created you to be. He will use you in ways you can’t even begin
to imagine now. All the forces of hell can’t thwart the plans God has for you.
Go ahead and make as many plans for your future as you want, but
always remember this wonderful truth, “The Lord’s purpose will prevail.” Man cannot prevent the Lord from accomplishing
His will to redeem as many as will let Him and usher them home to heaven. Righteousness will prevail; all sin will be
judged and cast into the lake of fire reserved for those who reject the
Lord.
Align yourself up with God’s purposes and all will be well with
your soul, both today and throughout all of eternity.
