I love the word
THWARTED.
Try saying it ten times or just once
and you will love it too.
Besides just saying it,
it is my favorite word
in the Bible
as it brings
PEACE in the midst of wait
JOY in the midst of despair
&
it acknowledges that
GOD IS GOD
and
HIS ways are the best ways
because
HE knows what HE is doing~
"I know that You can do all things,
And that no purpose of Yours can be THWARTED." Job 42:2
THWARTED
comes rolling out of the mouth of
Job who also said~
"What I always feared has happened to me.
What I dreaded has come true." Job 3:25
Job who also said~
"I hate my life and don't want to go on living.
Oh, leave me alone for my few remaining days." Job 7:16
And then after 41 chapters of loss and despair
Job says it~
"I know that you can do all things;
no purpose of yours can be thwarted." Job 42:2
THWARTED
defined by my little brain~
God will do what God will do & whatever
He does will be the best for you & I
and no one can stop Him.
THWARTED
defined by
JESUS~
“With man this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
Hmm...
think about it the next time you say the word
THWARTED
because
"For I know the plans I have for you,”
declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
