The Triumph of God

January 04, 2010 by Randy Sims

"In the death of Christ, the powers of darkness did their best to destroy the glory of the Son of God. This is the apex of evil. But instead they found themselves quoting the script of ancient prophesy and acting the part assigned to them by God. Precisely in putting Christ to death, they put his glory on display -- the very glory that they aimed to destroy. The apex of evil achieved the apex of the glory of Christ. The glory of grace." 

--- John Piper

Sometimes, when life is tough, we think we've strayed from the map of God's will.  In Isaiah 49:11 the people of God, when released from captivity, were to make their way back to the home land. The mountains they faced were obstacles.  However, God gave them the proper perspective concerning the treacherous high country they were facing, And I will make my mountains a road, and my highways shall be raised up.
