Who Can Thwart God's Plan?

Do you ever feel like things are out of control? Do you ever feel like nothing makes sense? God is still very much in control. Even though that seems to be an over-used cliche, its eternal truth is clearly taught in His word. Here is just a sample of the many Scriptures that attest to this:



9Whatever you devise against the LORD,
         He will make a complete end of it.
Distress will not rise up twice.
12Thus says the LORD,
         "Though they are at full strength and likewise many,
         Even so, they will be cut off and pass away
         Though I have afflicted you,
         I will afflict you no longer.
Nahum 1:9, 12



9"Thus says the LORD, 'Do not deceive yourselves, saying, "The Chaldeans will surely go away from us," for they will not go.
10'For even if you had defeated the entire army of Chaldeans who were fighting against you, and there were only wounded men left among them, each man in his tent, they would rise up and burn this city with fire.'"
Jeremiah 37:9-10



14David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph And Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
1 Samuel 23:14



10"Devise a plan, but it will be thwarted;
         State a proposal, but it will not stand,
         For God is with us."
Isaiah 8:10



5Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,"
6so that we confidently say,
         "THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID.
         WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"
Hebrews 13:5-6



28And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?
Romans 8:28, 31



6For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until (A)the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6
