The decisions of men do not deter the plans of God;
they accomplish them!
History confirms this over and over again.
“For thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Jesus said: “I lay down my life for the sheep… No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.”
Jeremiah 29:10-11, Romans 9:17, John 10:14, 18 ESV
