Walking through a religious-based campus one day, a professor came upon a custodian reading the Bible during his lunch hour. The professor asked what he was reading, The book of Revelation,” the custodian replied. “Im sure you dont understand what it means,” the professor said condescendingly. “Actually I do,” he replied “it simply means Jesus wins!” (cf. Revelation 19:11-21 – NKJV).<\/p>\n

As we face lifes challenges, its important to remember that God always wins!<\/strong> And since His plans are always in the victory lane, it is infinitely wiser to merge with His will rather than rebel against it.<\/p>\n

In the story of Ruth, God providentially set the stage for Boaz to rescue Ruth and Naomi from a life of poverty and the shame of not having an heir. Ruth could have been bitter about her status as a young widow, and Boaz might have thought that as a foreigner Ruth was not worth his time. But they recognized the hand of God in their circumstances and merged with His plan to provide for her needs (Ruth 4:13-22 – NKJV).<\/p>\n

The best part is that their story doesnt end there salvation for the world was yet to come through their descendants first David, and then Jesus (Matthew 1:5-16 – NKJV).<\/p>\n

We can rebel against Gods plan, pursuing our own agenda, or we can merge with Gods plan and join the winning side the choice is ours<\/strong> (Joshua 24:15 – NKJV; cf. Exodus 32:25-29 – NKJV).<\/p>\n
