Tag: God's Sovereignty - Isaiah 12-17

Isaiah 14:27
For the Lord of hosts has purposed,
and who will annul it?
His hand is stretched out,
and who will turn it back?

Tag:  God's Sovereignty

God has a purpose.   He has a plan.  Unlike the plans of man, God's plan will come to pass and no one will stop it.   When God stretches fourth His hand, no one can prevent it.  In these chapters of Isaiah God is stretching forth His hand in destruction to the nations who both ignored His grace and who hurt His people, Israel.   God also has a plan and will stretch forth His hand for good on those who believe Him and put their trust in Him.  God is working His plan and God will not be stopped.  This is the sovereign purpose of God.  His Son will come to the earth and will save the people from their sins.  His Son will die and raise again to newness of life to save the people from their sins.  His Son will return, some day, and reign for evermore with those who have put their trust in Him.  God has plan and NO ONE can stop it.   We can trust and rejoice in that and to that end.
