Purposes Performed

In my readings this week, I was in Isaiah. The passages in chapters 40-48 are well known to be strong on God’s sovereignty and the certainty of God’s plan being fulfilled. I was in an earlier section that gave a similarly cogent and compelling insight to God’s plan being irrepressible. Look at the following:

“The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations. For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?“

Isaiah 14:24–27.

This is emphatic.
Indeed, God’s Words are unstoppable!
