5 Stories From The Bible About Destiny

Here are 5 great stories from the Bible about destiny.

Comes to Pass – Habakkuk 2

We know that whatever God’s Word has said will come to pass, will come to pass.  No man or nothing can stop it.  For example, God told Habakkuk the Prophet that “the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3).  To us and Habakkuk, God may seem to be acting slow on our behalf, be we know for sure that “it will surely come; it will not delay” (Habakkuk 2:3c).

Appointment with Destiny – Revelation 19

Everyone has an appointment with destiny.  We will all be judged, but for those who have trusted in Christ, their sins have been judged in Christ.  Either saved or not, we will all face God’s judgment, but the saved are judged for what they did in their Christian life and the rewards or lack thereof…but the unbeliever will be judged after death too (Revelation 20:12-15), as the Word says, “just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

His Word Succeeds – Isaiah 55

What we might say may have little or no effect on people or circumstances, but not so with God. God has said that whatever “goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11).  That’s good news for us since God will not break His own Word, and we know we who have trusted in Christ will receive eternal life (John 3:16-17), so “it shall accomplish that which” God has purposed.

A Future and a Hope – Jeremiah 29

I think it’s good that we don’t know the future and only God does.  I might mess it up, but God does not mess things up.  He has plans for our eternal future, and as He said to ancient Israel, I believe He says to us, “I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).

According to His Purpose – Romans 8

Unless we look at life through the lens of Scripture, we won’t understand why bad things are happening to us.  We might be living in obedience to God’s Word and being generous with our resources and still get hammered by life.  One truth we can all fall back on is that “we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).  It doesn’t say only the good things work out for our best…but even the worst of things.
