Scripture

Observation
When God says it, it happens. God does not live in ‘reaction mode’. He has plans and purposes, and He will see them through to completion. All of the political, social, economic, and physical forces in the world cannot sway the outcome…when “God says”.
Application
Circumstances and external forces affect me. They impact my decisions and outcomes. But the God I serve is mighty, and I can trust that His promises will be fulfilled in my life. As I make His purpose my purpose, and His plans my plan, then I can trust that His word will be fulfilled in my life. No matter the obstacles, no matter the challenges, and no matter the storms.
God said…and it will come to pass.
Prayer
God, thank you for having plans and purposes, and thank you for having plans and purposes for my life. Help me to trust you, and rest in the peace of knowing that Your word will be fulfilled no matter the obstacles that arise.
