Have you ever planned and implemented a project and had so many obstacles in the way that it hindered success. Or maybe it even caused the project to fail miserably... Yeah, we probably have all been in that situation at one time or another. Obstacles tend to train wreck our greatest plans and projects, we get fed up with the obstacles and resistance that often we give up.
It's virtually impossible to stop a train in full motion once it has begun, well unless your Hancock:
Nothing stops God's plans once they are in motion.
24 The Lord Almighty has sworn, “Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand. 25 I will crush the Assyrian in my land; on my mountains I will trample him down. His yoke will be taken from my people, and his burden removed from their shoulders.” 26 This is the plan determined for the whole world; this is the hand stretched out over all nations. 27 For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back? (Is 14:24-27., NIV)
What God has purposed, what God has planned cannot be stopped. For Assyria this was a bad thing, God tells them through Isaiah here that nothing they can do will stop His plan of destruction for them. They could build the biggest walls, train the greatest armies, and use the greatest of weapons, but they would still be destroyed. For us, there is a greater truth in this. On a positive note, this means that if God has a plan for something great that no opposition, no resistance, or financial woe will hinder God from completing what He has started.
You and I may get discouraged, you and I may think it's not going to happen, and you and I may quit. However, God will get done what His purpose it, and it is up to us to decide whether or not God will accomplish His plans with or without our involvement.
Just something to think about, have a blessed day.
