Day 182/365- Isaiah 14:27

"The Unstoppable God"

The Lord of Heaven's Armies has spoken— who can change his plans?
When his hand is raised, who can stop him?" (Isaiah 14:27 NLT)

God is unstoppable. This is great news! It seems at times in our world that nothing good can come out of this place. It seems that life is meaningless & random. It seems that God is aloof. It seems that God is not in control.

But this is just how it seems.

Isaiah 14 affirms our hearts that God is in control & no one can thwart his plans. This sometimes contributes to the mystery more than it solves however. Because it takes trust to see that in the midst of chaos God has a plan. That in the midst of horrible tragedy that he is on control. Many have turned to atheism because they cannot imagine an all-powerful God who allows what happens in the world.

Although this is a mystery it is also a great encouragement. God has a plan. He is carrying out that plan in his way & his timing. When we don't have much else to hold onto, we can hold onto that! God will not be denied & we are his people. We are on this unstoppable mission with him. What part does he want us to play?
