The Inevitable…Isn’t

We look at the world and see such momentum behind troubling trends. The trajectory seems unstoppable and inevitable, so we begin to waver and compromise.

The logic goes something like this. Well, change is just a part of life. And when it comes to _____________ (fill in the blank), the genie is already out of the bottle. We’ll never go back, so we need to just accept it. If we don’t, we lose our place at the table to help shape it. 

But why are we so quick to agree with what the world says is inevitable…and then accept it as normal? Especially when much of it has its roots more in the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil than in the Tree of Life?

The only things truly inevitable are the plans of God. What he says will happen, will. Everything else are the plans of humans. Shaky at best.

You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail. (Proverbs 19:21 NLT)
