Luke 14:28-30 “For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.”
Let us be bold here talking about our God, He is Eternal and has absolute Sovereign Power over all His creation. God created heaven and all that is within it, He created the earth and all that is withing it, He also created the heavens (the firmament) and all that is in it, then God created everything within the earth, and lastly God created people, male and female. God created everything that exist and He created it all for His own glory, even the wicked for the day of evil. Prov. 16:4. With all of this in mind, let us ask ourselves, did God create everything by His Sovereign Decree or did He create everything by chance? Did God actually have a plan when He created all of this or did, He Just create it and hope for the best? Can even the weakest biblical minds in Christianity truly believe that the Creator of everything in existence created all this, without an ordained plan or a decree? And then they they honestly believe that the Creator of everything is not controlling it all with His Sovereign Power? The passage of scripture I used in the text is exactly the questions all people must ask themselves about God’s creation, did He truly not build it to finish it Himself, did God actually create all of this and leave any part of it for man to complete? Would a builder of anything just allow inexperienced labors to build his house or building and not control every aspect of that work? Please Lord, give us, even the most unlearned among us the ability to understand that You did not create all this without a plan. How could God know everything He decreed, ordained, predestinated, and chose, would be accomplished, if He did not see them to fulfilment by His own Sovereign Power and Authority. Surely God, who has all knowledge did not send His own Son Jesus to this world, to live a life of persecution, pain, sorrow, and even suffer death by chance that some would choose Him as their Saviour. God, with His Omniscience knowing the evil in the human heart and the enmity in the human heart toward Him, God who decreed that some would be saved and others would not, God who took a single lump of clay and made both vessels of honor and dishonor, actually left the most important part of the human life, a choice to them who “…none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.”? This would be worse than building your house on a sand foundation, it would be the most ignorant choice of all choices. W.E. Best once wrote “God’s purpose is founded in absolute sovereignty, ordered by infinite wisdom, ratified by omnipotence, and cemented by immutability.” God never fails, He never has one ordained will to fail, because He is the Sovereign authority and power over all His creation. Salvation and everything else are God’s decree and He controls ever aspect of His decree. Isaiah 14:24 “The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:” Proverbs 19:21 “There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.”
