“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.” Job 42:2 BSB
In a story titled “Climate Activists Attempted to Disrupt the Berlin Marathon Start” published Monday, it was reported that Police detained at least eight protesters from the activist group Letzte Generation— which translates to “The Last Generation”—at the Berlin Marathon on Sunday. The Letzte Generation typically protests in Germany, Austria, and Italy, and marathon officials had warned the group not to interrupt the event. Germany’s Deutsche Welle, “DW,” network reports that the group has been actively pushing Germany to cease the use of coal and fossil fuels by 2023, and they often use acts of civil disobedience to get their point across… While the details of the group’s marathon interruption remain unclear, orange paint was visible near the starting line of the world-famous race. Race directors knew that the Letzte Generation was planning a protest during the event. Managing director of SCC events Jürgen Lock, the group in charge of organizing Berlin, said he hoped “nothing untoward happens in terms of a demonstration but we have plans for such eventualities.”At least some of those “eventualities” did come to pass, but the marathon went on.
And you know, when it comes to things going on as planned despite “eventualities”, the Bible is very clear that no plan of Gods can ever be thwarted. In other words, there is nothing that God has willed or purposed that anyone or anything can ever change. His perfect plan will always come to pass despite how it may look. Which means that God and His Word can always be trusted despite any protests or attempted interruptions from man.
So as you look around our world today at the chaos and conflict that exists, take heart my friend. Jesus is coming back soon just as He said and nothing and no one will have the power to stop the greatest event of all time. Are you ready?
Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us the Word that proves that no plan of Yours can ever be stopped. Since the beginning of time when You spoke the world into existence, whatever You have willed and planned has come to pass. Let us truly grasp this so that we will have peace in the midst of a chaotic world. It’s in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!
