Jehovah has the final say [May 1,2022 ]

Daily Word

Jehovah has the final say
Proverbs 21:30-31
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord. The horse is prepared for battle: but safety is of the Lord.

There is a proverb that confirms the passage above. It says “Man proposes but God disposes” which means Jehovah has the final say. Man can make very excellent plans but God can turn it around and give an undesired outcome.

An example can be found in 2 Samuel chapter 16- chapter 17 where God turns Ahithophel’s ( King David’s trusted advisor) counsel to foolishness and Absalom is prevented from taking his Father King David’s throne.

There is a song which says:
Who has the final say?
Jehovah has the final say
Who has the final say?
Jehovah has the final say
Jehovah turned my life around
He turned my life around
He makes a way
Where there is no way
Jehovah has the final say

Jehovah indeed has the final say.

Revelations 22:12
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

This verse from the new testament gives another scenario of Jehovah having the final say.

After all on earth is over it is Jehovah who would determine which people deserve rewards. Be faithful to the end and God will reward you greatly (Revelations 2:10)
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Ask God for grace and strength to be faithful to Him always.

Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to be a faithful servant because you have the final say.
Amen
