Job 42:2

Job 42:2 was on my heart so heavily today. "I know that You can do all things, and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained or thwarted." (Job 42:2 AMPC)  While discussing this scripture with Errian, Jeremiah 29:11 came to my mind as well. "'For I know the plans and thoughts that I have for you,' says the Lord , 'plans for peace and well-being and not for disaster to give you a future and a hope." (Jeremiah 29:11 AMP) What an awesome, encouraging, and hope-giving, faith-stimulating revelation!

God's thoughts and purpose cannot and will not be restrained (prevented/restricted) or thwarted (stopped or frustrated). Those thoughts and plans for peace, well-being, a future, and a hope that God thinks towards us will not be prevented, restricted, stopped, or frustrated. Praise God!

Thank You, God, for Your Word that affirms us in this faith walk. Thank You, God, for being the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful God. Thank You for Your plans and thoughts.
