(Isaiah 14:27, NKJV)
For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?
Turn it back .... Isaiah saw the hand of God stretched out in judgment against Assyria and the other nations of his time, and knew there was no power in heaven or earth that could turn it back. When God purposes to do something, His will shall be accomplished, regardless of the will of man
What is God's purpose for my life? “In one sense, you are always living in God's purpose. God is God and He works all things, including your life, according to his purposes. ... Psalm 57:2 says, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.” This is key in understanding God's purpose for your life.”
God has a purpose for your life. He’s already planned out your days, lined up the different scenes, and established your ending. Today’s Scripture asks, “Who can stop it? Who will turn it back?” God is saying, “I’m the all-powerful Creator of the universe. Now, who can stop My plan for your life? Who can change your ending? People can’t, unfair situations can’t, tragedy can’t. I have the final say.”
When you feel like you’re on a life detour, when you come to a dead-end with something you don’t understand, don’t get upset or live frustrated. It’s just one scene. When all the scenes of your life come together, it’s going to work out for your good. It is at your withs-end God is most powerful! What looks like a setback is really God setting you up to get you to the fullness of your destiny. Stay in peace, knowing that God is directing your steps. Even the detours, the dead ends, and the U-turns will work to your advantage.
“Father, thank You for the promise that You always cause me to triumph in the end. Thank You that You are directing my steps and working out Your purpose for my life. So, today, I’m going to stay in peace knowing that no one and nothing can stop Your plan. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
