No plan of God’s can be thwarted (Job 42:2; Isaiah 14:27)); when He acts, no one can reverse it (Isaiah 43:13); no one can hold back His hand or bring Him to account for His actions (Daniel 4:35). God does as He pleases, only as He pleases, and works out every event to bring about the accomplishment of His will (Isaiah 46:10). Such a bare unqualified statement of the sovereignty of God would terrify us if that were all we knew about God. But God is not only sovereign, He is perfect in love and infinite in wisdom.
