God's Purposes Are Not Thwarted

Then Job answered the Lord and said, "I know that You can do all things, And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted."

Job 42:1

Job understood that God was in control. It doesn't matter what happens, God still accomplishes His purposes. Many times throughout history, men who hated God and were working against Him actually fulfilled God's plans. I believe the greatest example is the death of Jesus. Satan was working hard to have victory over Christ's earthly ministry, and just when it seemed he had won, Jesus died for us and redeemed the whole world. He made a way for us to have salvation and be free in Christ. No purpose of God is thwarted.

Lord, thank You that we can trust You to always have Your way. Thank You that no evil person, no politician, do demon can ruin Your plans. Thank You that we can know that we are on the winning team.
