Isaiah 46:10 God's Unchanging Purpose


Isaiah 46:10 (NIV)
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.
God’s purpose will stand; nothing will stop God accomplishing what he wants in his time. His purpose has remained the same throughout history. He always wanted to be in close personal relationship with all humans. Even though things went very wrong and people rebelled against God he has consistently worked to rescue us from this rebellion. Throughout the Bible God calls His people to be a blessing to all people (Gen 12:2-3). The Bible is best understood as the big story of God accomplishing his Mission or purpose in His world. We were created to be part of God’s eternal purposes and bless the world. What a privilege and awesome responsibility we have to help God accomplish his will by being powerful witnesses, boldly living out a Jesus centered life.
Lord, help me to work with you to accomplish your purposes.
