GOD FULFILLS HIS WORD!
"Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing... The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will."~ Ezra 1:1; Prov. 21:1
Those acquainted with the Holy Scripture are familiar with the many references to the Word of God being fulfilled. In fact we are told clearly in one place, "It must be fulfilled." A man is as good as his word! God's integrity depends on His Word coming to pass. You can depend on it, or as the saying goes, "You can hang your hat on it." Solomon tells us, "... there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised..." 1 Kgs. 8:56
God will move heaven and earth to make sure His Word is fulfilled. And this is not figuratively speaking; He literally does it, that is, move heaven and earth. One example is seen in our main text, above. When it comes to fulfilling His Word we are all pawns in His hand. From the least to the greatest, all are in His hand. As Daniel tells us, "And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?" Like the song goes, "He's got the whole world in His hand."
"When this world seems to be falling apart a saint will find great solace of soul in the Sovereignty of God Almighty!
