The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations;
he thwarts the plans of the peoples.The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of his heart from generation to generation. (Psalm 33:10-11)
This is our hope.
When Herod tried to kill Jesus, his plans were frustrated.
The Jews and Romans crucified Jesus but couldn’t keep him in the grave.
And through the centuries, all of Satan’s attempts to destroy the church have failed.
It is the Lord’s plans that have stood through the centuries.
And when Jesus returns, we will see his salvation.
We wait for the Lord;
he is our help and shield.For our hearts rejoice in him
because we trust in his holy name.May your faithful love rest on us, Lord,
for we put our hope in you. (20-22)
