The Psalms say that even the plans of people and nations are helpless to thwart the plan of God. If we really believe this, then we must believe — we have no choice but to believe — that no political party, no party platform, no legislation, no judicial appointment, no election, and no individual choice regarding how someone votes, can thwart God’s plan. Specifically, none of those things can thwart God’s plan to save His people or His church. Or unborn babies.

Debbie Howard Lee, my friend.
Here’s what I remember about Debbie: she was always smiling. Always. She loved her family fiercely. She loved animals, especially her horses. But she loved Jesus more than anything else in the whole world. Now she is sitting at His feet, worshiping, loving, and clothed in a glory we can’t even begin to imagine.

And then God, in his grace toward me, brings me gently to a “dry” and “irrelevant” case law regarding Ancient Near East inheritance, and he shows me that He is sovereign even over my sin.
The Curse of Grace
We flatter and deceive ourselves when we think we choose God. God chose us, when we were still allied with the serpent.
