Trusting God's Plan - Message #134

It has been said that history is His story; God's story. Putting it another way, history is the story of how God is working out His plans and purposes in the world. Despite all the seeming chaos in our world, God is in control and God's plan is in effect. God's plan involves the restoring of this world and the perfecting of a people through the work of Jesus Christ.

When Adam and Eve rebelled against God by disobeying His commandments, suffering and death entered the world. Then God promised a Savior. God repeated His promise to Noah, to Abraham and his sons, and to David and Solomon. Finally, "When the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law" (Galatians 4:4). This promised Savior went to the cross to pay the ultimate penalty for the sins of others. He then rose again from the grave and ascended into heaven where He reigns as "both Lord and Christ" (Acts 2:36).

When Christ comes again, He will cleanse this world from the ravages of sin and He will glorify His people. This is God's plan outlined in the Bible. All the facts of history are details of this plan. God's plan brings meaning to the seeming chaos of world history. Trusting God's plan brings order to the chaos in our lives.
