Isaiah
25:1
1 O LORD [Yahovah], thou art my God ['elohiym]; I will exalt [ruwm] thee,
I will praise [yadah] thy name [shem]; for thou hast done [`asah]
wonderful [pele'] things; thy counsels [`etsah] of old [rachowq] are
faithfulness ['emuwnah] and truth ['omen]. KJV-Interlinear
1 O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you
have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure. ESV
Even though
humanity has and will make his own destiny into a heap of dismal and
destructive ends, it is Gods plan, that was made long, long ago, that has never
changed and that has sought the very best for humanity.
Gods plan is for
the entire world, for the entire human race.
God desires that
all should be saved and that all should advance to their fullest spiritual
capacity.
But it is man,
or each individual that prevents these desires from becoming a reality.
Many refuse to
believe in Christ.
Many refuse to
engage in a daily study, in order to learn, in order to grow up, in order to
advance in their spiritual life and existence.
These failures
cannot be ascribed to God, when man refuses.
Gods plan was
established in eternity past. And even
though the world will come to a very dramatic and horrible end, it is still
Gods plan that is both personal and vast to care for the needs of the
individual as well as the design for the entire human race through all
generations.
God created a
perfect universe, designed for habitation.
Satan ruined it.
God created a perfect
Garden, designed for mans wonderful life.
Man ruined it.
Name one thing
that Satan has done that is beneficial for all.
Name one thing
that man had done for all.
Sin has
destroyed and sin will always destroy.
Arrogance
prevents advancement and completion of oneself. And yet it is each person, never
God, who hinders Gods plan for themselves.
To praise God,
to worship God, to exalt God, requires a dedication to ones daily study as God
mandates and expects. To do otherwise,
is disobedience to God as well as a huge disregard for His plan, and a huge
adherence for ones own designs in life.
