“Yes, I call on God, the Most High, God who will bring everything to fruition for me.” (Psalms 57.2 – sower) Another translation: “Yes, I call on God, the Most High, God who will carry out his plans for me. »
This text is wonderful. It reveals two main things. First, the psalmist says that God has plans for us. This sentence must be understood in two ways. First, and this is good news, it indicates that we are not on earth for nothing, but we are here to fulfill the plan that God has in store for us. Then He declares that He will bring about His purposes.
All this is reassuring. We live in a time in history where we need to know what we are doing on this earth. We need a goal, objectives, a reason to live. In Ephesians 2:10, the Apostle Paul writes: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared in advance, that we should walk in them. » The Lord has indeed prepared in advance – planned, planned – numerous missions for each of us. He created us for these works. Which implies that in creating us, he was already thinking about what we were going to do and therefore, he endowed each of us with all the necessary ingredients to accomplish these works.
It’s a bit like someone creating a calculator. By creating it, he endows it with everything he wants this calculator to accomplish. If it is a simple calculator, its creator will place the simple functions there: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and in general the square root and the percentage, without forgetting the equals function, of course. If he designs a scientific calculator he will add the main common functions: cosine, tangents, sine and all the functions allowing the calculations of fractions, equations, differentials, etc. Each calculator is designed to accomplish what it is intended for.
We can say that similarly, each of us is created with all the “functions” that correspond to the works that the Lord has planned in advance for us. God’s plans and plans for us will certainly come to pass.
The second way to understand this text is that the Lord also has purposes for our lives – not just what He wants us to achieve, but also things that HE wants to design in our lives. And here too, the psalmist says that God will bring to pass His purposes which He has planned for us. This same affirmation is found in Philippians 1.6 where the Apostle Paul affirms: “I am convinced that he who began this good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. “. What the Lord has begun to do in us, He will complete.
Oh how wonderful it is to know that He is able to accomplish His Word in our lives, His purposes in our lives, His will for our lives. The good news from this passage is that God’s plans and purposes will come to pass in our lives. This sentence should remain engraved in our hearts for the rest of our lives. Whatever happens, God’s plans will come true. When obstacles and adverse circumstances come, God’s plans will come true.
The enemy of our souls may come and harass us, nothing will stop the Lord from accomplishing what He has started in us. This is how God’s sovereignty works in our favor. God is not against us. He is for us; and what He has begun in us He will complete. No weapon can stop God’s plans for our lives. They will all come true.
He repeats this truth in Isaiah 14:24 and 27: “The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying: Indeed, what I have decided will come to pass, and what I have purposed will be accomplished… The LORD of hosts has taken this resolution: who will oppose it? His hand is stretched out: who will turn it away? » and in Psalms 138:8 the psalmist says: “The Lord will finish what he has begun for me…”
No power in the world is able to stop the plans and purposes of God. To think and believe the opposite means to believe that our enemy is stronger than our Lord. Oh, but the devil is not as powerful as some Christians think. Certainly, he has certain assets, but they are worthless in front of the omnipotence of our Heavenly Father. God’s purposes will come true. Period.
