Undefeatable Career

You may fear that the injustice of others can defeat that purpose, can keep from you the good things God has prepared. Nothing of the sort really can happen. Not even your own folly can indefinitely postpone the destiny the Eternal plans for you as you “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

You remember the morning Jesus was brought before Pilate, charged with making himself king. At one point in the trial, where he refused to talk, Pilate said to him: “Speakest thou not unto me? Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee and have power to release thee?” “Thou couldest have no power at all against me,” answered Jesus, “except it were given thee from above.”

Then Pilate delivered him to his accusers and he was executed. But presently Jesus was back alive the same man he was before. How little the conspiracy accomplished except to speed and glorify the career of that amazing man. There was not power enough in the clamorous rabble or even in the Roman government to defeat the purpose the Almighty had for His son.

There is no circumstance, no injustice, no power in this world to defeat the purpose God has for you if you make the right choice and stay resolutely with it. And life is still before you.
