Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 3

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 3

-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

God is sovereign.
 
In the days in which we live, God has a plan for America; He has a plan for His Church, the body of Christ; He has a plan for the nations; He has a plan for your life. God is working out His plan. Nothing can stop His plan or frustrate His purposes. God is not worried about what will happen or what He will be able to do. God knows what will happen and He knows what He will do. Nothing takes Him by surprise. He sees the future and He is already there. He knows where He is leading your life, and He knows how to get you there without shame and without blame.

God has a plan and a purpose for everything that He has made.

Everything is for His glory. All things were made by Him and for Him, and He is working all things out according to the council of His own will. He doesn’t need a consulting firm to give Him any tips, He doesn’t need any university professors to give Him any guidance, and He doesn’t need any religious leaders to give Him any counsel.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding. God has now revealed to us his mysterious will regarding Christ—which is to fulfill his own good plan. And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth. Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan. God’s purpose was that we Jews who were the first to trust in Christ would bring praise and glory to God (Ephesians 1:3-12 KJV).
 
One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all (Ephesians 4:6 KJV).
