I always believed that there was nothing that could stand up against God's Word. He Is God, so it would stand to reason that there shouldn't be anything that could stand against His Word, right? He created the heavens and the earth. He placed the stars in the sky with the words of His mouth. He measures the oceans in the palm of His hand. So, it's logical to believe that His words will carry with them the power to fullfill them and nothing can stop it.
Well, to my surprise, that has an exception clause.
Yes. God's words have the power to fulfill their purpose but God's plans can be thwarted.
Think about this... Isn't it God's will that all men might be saved? So, are they all saved? Is it God's fault? Wouldn't you agre that this is an interesting situation in which God's will is not fulfilled because of man.
In a like manner God's words are held back or are of no effect (ie can not take effect or cause an effect) because of man's traditions.
I won't write about man's traditions this time but we should all take a moment and check ourselves, asking "are my ideas, experiences, or philosophies nullifying God's word?" have we ever said "I know that is what the Bible says BUT...." if so we might be nullifying God's word in our life.
