God Will Fulfill His Plan in You
My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure.
Isaiah 46:10
God is in Control
God is in control. He is not sitting back watching the world but actively accomplishing His plan for creation.
When you look at all the problems the world is facing, it’s easy to let fear fill your heart. No matter how much nations talk, war often seems inevitable. Unknown pathogens, corruption, and crime make it easy to wonder if God is really in control.
Before creation began, God had a master plan for this universe. He didn’t just wind up creation like an old clock and then sit back to watch it run down.
God Has a Plan
God has been moving the world forward from the beginning to His conclusion.
We may not understand why God allows one nation to prosper and another to fail. We can’t imagine why He allows evil empires to exist, but He is in control.
Proverbs 21:1 says that God holds the king’s heart in His hand, and He directs it according to His will.
The Heart of the King
A ruler may have incredible power and seem to be in absolute control of his country, but God still controls his heart. God moves Him as needed to accomplish His plan. A leader may declare his independence from God, but that doesn’t stop God from working. Nothing happens in this world that God has not given His stamp of approval.
Nothing happens in your life that God hasn’t approved. Just as God accomplishes His master plan in the world, He is accomplishing His master plan in you. You may not see it, but God is fulfilling His perfect will for you. He takes pleasure in bringing about His good plan in your life.
If your heart is full of fear or worries about the future, relax; God has things under control. If you are overwhelmed by the direction the world seems to be going, remember God is fulfilling His master plan for creation.
If you have fear and doubts about your future, remember that God is accomplishing His master plan in your life.
Look at that verse again.
My purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure. – Isaiah 46:10
Make these confessions.
- God is working in the world to accomplish His good will.
- God is working in my life to accomplish his will in me.
- I will not fear because God is in control.
- I confess my dependence on Him so He can fulfill His master plan in me.
In Jesus’ Name
Amen
You don’t always see God’s hand working. He often works in the background, both in the world and your life, to bring about His good will. You can leave your fear and worry behind because God is in control.

I know Hod is in control even tho sometimes it doesn’t seem like it .God bless all!
That was meant to be God is in control
Billy, thank you so much for your hard work. I have to differ with this one however. God has given man free will which is God’s plan but can differ greatly from His will. There’s no way God puts his “stamp of approval” on things like the Holocaust. Not the God I worship anyway.
Randy, I think you have a good point and the issue of evil in our world, and man’s free will is certainly a big and deep topic. Man does have the freedom to live in contrary to God’s will and chose evil. At the same time, I do God will fulfill his ultimate plan for me and the world. Thanks for your comment. – Billy
