KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 18:14 KJV” Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.”
God our heavenly Father rules in the affairs of men. On many occasions, men may plan mischief but God can turn it to achieve His purposes, especially, if it has to do with his children. In the book of Genesis, the sons of Jacob hated Joseph and even sold him into slavery thinking, that would end all the amazing dreams that Joseph has been talking about. God used their evil wish to bring Joseph into God’s perfect will for His life. No man can change God’s intention and plans for the man, who walks in constant obedience to God.
In our key scripture, the high priest counseled the house of elders that one person should die for the people, and that was to be Jesus. John 11:51 KJV” And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;” This man and his group of elders were seeking to satisfy their fury against the Lord Jesus, yet the Holy Spirit was the one who inspired the high priest to make that prophecy which was to save the whole of mankind.1Co 2:8 KJV” Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
Dear child of God, never be afraid of the threats and the animosity of men. In their anger and desire to harm and eliminate you, God will be working out a program of glory for you. All you have to do is to maintain your love for God and keep doing the will of God for your life. The Lord will make all things work out for your good. 1 Cor 2:9 KJV” But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
THOUGHT: THE LOVER OF GOD CANNOT, BE DISADVANTAGED.
