DAY 3: God’s Will is Unchangeable

“Four hundred years after Moses led the Hebrews out of slavery in Egypt, Israel’s twelve tribes had settled throughout Canaan. They had no king to unify them, and judges ruled over various tribes. Many Hebrews forgot their God, and a new power rose to enslave them—a sea people with advanced weaponry and coastal strongholds.…the Philistines. During this age of oppression, the Angel of the Lord proclaimed that a male child would be born to set the Israelites free.” – Samson, Eric Wilson (Charisma House, 2018)

God can use the backslidden, the disobedient, the weak, and the faithless to accomplish His will. It does not matter how righteous or how rebellious you are. We cannot deter God from carrying out His plan for our lives. Samson was used to fulfill God’s purpose even when he strayed from his God-given calling. This is a perfect picture of the Lord’s sovereignty. When His children rebel and fall from grace, God takes the mess they have created and orchestrates it to achieve His perfect will.

God can use you even if you have disobeyed His Word. Do not lament your fallenness. Rejoice that God is in control and He uses your weakness and your insufficiency for His glory.
