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.
