"Interrupting Evil"

"I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted" ~ Job 42:2

In this short statement by the faithful and patient Job, he declares not only God's sovereignty, but also His omnipotence. He is able to do whatever He wills and if He wills it, no one can stop Him. While most believers do not doubt this statement, how many of us actually live like it? To know that God's purpose is still on schedule no matter what we are dealing with should be somewhat life-changing for all of us. When someone mistreats us or something bad happens to us, we can trust that God sees it all and that He decides how much we can take before He steps in to put a stop to it. This is what He did with Job, and it's what He does with each of us, as Satan seeks to devour each of us. Satan has been working against God's plan for more than 6,000 years, but God always breaks in and shuts down his work. This week at Friendship, we'll talk about God's work of "Interrupting Evil" and specifically how God made a way for the Messiah to be born even though Satan's every move was to stop it. We'll also discuss what this means for us, and how we can rejoice in all circumstances because of Jesus. Join us to check it all out!
