Peace to you my brothers and sisters.
Today’s Bible Verse: [Proverbs 21:30 KJV] [There is] no wisdom nor
understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
Matthew Henry: Though they think they have wisdom, and understanding, and
counsel, the best politics and politicians, on their side, yet, if it be
against the Lord, it cannot prosper long; it shall not prevail at last.
[Psalm 2:1-6 KJV] Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], Let us break their bands
asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens
shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto
them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king
upon my holy hill of Zion.
[Revelation 17:14 KJV] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are
with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.
John Gill: No human schemes whatever, formed with the greatest wisdom and
prudence, can ever prevail against God, or set aside or hinder the execution of
any design of his; nothing that is pointed against his church, his cause, and
interest, his truths and ordinances, in the issue shall succeed; all that are
found fighters against him shall not prosper, let them be men of ever so much
sagacity and wisdom; though there may be ever so many devices in a man's heart,
and these ever so well planned, they shall never defeat the counsel of the Lord.
These people tried to put their wisdom above God’s: Pharaoh (Exodus 1:10;
Exodus 7:1-12:51), Balak (Numbers 24:10), Ahaziah (2 Kings 1:9-17), Sennacherib
(2 Chronicles 32:21; Isaiah 30:31), and Haman (Esther 5:11-13; Esther 7:10). It
did not end well for them.
This is the gospel: [1 Corinthians 15:1-6 KJV] Moreover, brethren, I declare
unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and
wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I
preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you
first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the
third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of
the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of
whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
Go forth and spread this good news.
I hope this has been a blessing to you. May the rest of your day be blessed. Peace.
