God’s Counsel Is Immutable ~ Part One

Hebrews 6:17 says, “Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it with an oath.” Immutability means unchangeableness. 

I love this about the Lord. Ephesians 1:11 says, “In Him we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.”

What is God’s will? 2 Peter 3:9 says that He is longsuffering, “…not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Jesus died on the cross for all. Everyone without exception has the opportunity to accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior.

Job questioned God, and God answered. Job 38:2 says, “Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?” If you haven’t read this chapter in a while, I encourage you to do so. The marvelous power of God is displayed before Job.

Nothing Is Too Hard For God

Job 5:9 says, “Who does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number.” Psalm 145:3 says, “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable.”

I love Romans 11:33. It says, “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out.”

He knows our thoughts before we think them. He knows our words before we speak them. Nothing is hidden from Him. We can trust Him with the unknowns in our life. Psalm 85:13 says, “Righteousness will go before Him, and shall make His footsteps our pathway.

We will never go through anything but that the Lord went before us to prepare the way. David understood this. In Psalm 18:30 he wrote, “As for God His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.”

Indestructible Inheritance~Part Two

I love Ephesians 1:13-14. It says that believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit, “…who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.”

1 Peter 1:5 says that our inheritance is, “…kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” David wrote these words. Psalm 16:5-6 says, “O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good inheritance.”

Romans 8:16-17 says, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may be glorified together.”

He has called us out of darkness and has given us an indestructible inheritance. 1 Peter 2:9.
