KEY SCRIPTURE: Heb 6:17 KJV” Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:”

We continue with the immutability of His counsel. God’s purpose cannot be terminated or defeated. Man is limited by proper foresight to anticipate the outcome of events and secondly a lack of power to execute them. God has no such limitations. He is both omnipotent and omniscient so there is never any need for Him to revise. We can always count on His promises. If He said it, then you must consider it done. Psalms 33:11 KJV “The counsel of the LORD standeth forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”

In the light of the above, we see the vast or infinite distance between God and man. Creatures and their tendencies to change are normal. If the creature does not change by nature, then he or she is not a creature, rather he would be God. Yet all creation changes. This is the reason the scripture says, cursed is he whose trust or confidence is in a man. As the year has commenced resolve to place your confidence only in the Lord. No man can sustain himself in a single moment. Men are dependent beings. Naturally, we depend on water, food, and the air. All these are provided by the providence of God. Man is vitally dependent on God. It is unfortunate when any man claims to be intellectual or so scientifically informed that he says he does not need God. The Bible describes such a one as unwise. Psalms 14:1 KJV “To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The unwise hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, and there is none that doeth good. Ps 66:9 says,  “God holds our souls or breath in life…. “

Men as fallen creatures do not only change, but everything in us tends to oppose God. We have become like ‘wandering stars’ Jude 13 out of our proper orbit. The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest (Isaiah t7:20). Fallen man is inconstant. Please let these lessons teach you that, no human being can be depended upon. To disobey God is to be deceived. This is a very hard truth, yet many blatantly rebel against God, only to their destruction and frustration in the end.  Your solution is to humbly turn to the Lord God through our Saviour Jesus Christ. He delivered us from sin and gave us eternal life so we could partake of the God kind of life and live in union with Jesus as one,1 Corinth 6:17. Jesus came to raise a family for God who would be partakers of God’s divine nature 2 Peter 1:4. Would you now surrender your lives to Him.

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly, Father, you are perfect and unchanging in your counsel. You do whatever you say. Man is only living when he is hooked up to you. I turn away from all carnal and fleshly dependencies to trust in only you. Jesus, I confess you as the Lord of my life. Thank you for saving my soul.

THOUGHT: TO DISOBEY GOD, IS TO BE DECEIVED
