Nothing Can Stop What God Ordains

Nothing…nada…zip…zero can stop what God ordains. And nothing means no-thing and no-one.

I don’t know about you, but this brings me comfort, peace, and helps me trust in God’s plan for my life and in circumstances I may walk through—without a doubt.

Why? Because God is God, nothing can happen to us unless God allows it or ordains it. You see, if it is the ordained by God, it ends with a period. That thing will happen and cannot not happen.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of this during my husband’s hospital stay in critical care. But we still pray and ask others to pray. God desires we talk with Him and come to Him with our anxieties, thoughts, laments, and requests. It’s the beautiful part of our personal relationship with Him.

Even Jesus prayed for God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10)

So, it’s about God’s kingdom on earth, not building our own kingdom that eventually tumbles and crumbles. And we lay down our agenda and pick up God’s will and purposes for our life.

Nothing can stop what God ordains. If He said it, it is already secured in His will. And He will bring it to pass. Share on X

God’s Will Is Not a Suggestion

What God ordains is not fragile (Hallelujah) or dependent on human approval. Instead, He established it in heaven before it manifests on earth.

God’s the One “who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.” Ephesians 1:11b (NIV)

How intentional are we to seek His will and walk in His ways?

Human Resistance Cannot Stop Divine Purpose

What was meant to derail us may become the very thing that develops us or delivers us into God’s destiny for us. Joseph’s story is a wonderful example of this. “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.” Genesis 50:20 (ESV)

People may delay, oppose, or misunderstand God’s divine purpose—but they cannot stop it. Even opposition often becomes part of the process God uses. Glory to the Mighty God!

This includes entire nations.

“The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.” Psalm 33:10-11 (NIV)

Do we pray for God’s divine purpose for our world and the world around us?
