Matthew 1:17
So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

Tag: God is the God of Order

In the above passage we get a chance to peer into the deign of God; a glimpse of how He designed His plan for Christ.   God is not hap-hazard.   God has everything completely designed out to accomplish His plan and His will.  That is why verses like the following were given to us.  God wants us to know that He has a plan and is using all means possible to complete that plan:

Romans 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way,
but the Lord establishes his steps.

Isaiah 45:7-8
I form light and create darkness,
I make well-being and create calamity,
I am the Lord, who does all these things.
“Shower, O heavens, from above,
and let the clouds rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;
let the earth cause them both to sprout;
I the Lord have created it.


God is in the process of working out His plan for the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom.   It is orderly and structured.  We may not understand all of God’s plan but every step we take is in the fulfillment and direction of that plan.   We can rejoice in the fact that God has everything under His control.
