God's Many Routes Downtown
IllustrationTestimonyAnalogy★★★★IF I’M headed to downtown Dallas by way of the highway, then downtown is my intended goal and the highway is my route. But if I begin making my way to downtown and the highway is backed up due to construction or an accident, the backup interferes with me reaching my goal.
That’s no problem. I can exit the freeway and take an alternate route downtown. It may take me a little out of the way or take a bit longer but I can still use the alternate route to get me to my goal.
The accident may have interfered with my preferred route but it does not interfere with my goal. Even if I get blocked on my alternate route, I still have yet another route that I can take to get to my same destination. God’s comprehensive will means that when He’s going downtown and when He has determined His ultimate goal, He will always reach that goal.
If human beings or the Devil himself create a block in God’s plan, God is never limited to one highway. He is never limited to one route. Now, you know why that’s good news about the will of God? That means folk can’t stop the will of God for you.
The point
Though obstacles block one route of God's will, He has multiple paths to reach His ultimate goals; humans and Satan cannot defeat God's purposes.
