“Wherefore the Lord God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the Lord saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.” 1 Samuel 2:30. KJV
The Lord Most High can overrule anybody and everything, but did you know that He can also overrule Himself?
In Isaiah 38:1-8, the Most High sent His Prophet to King Hezekiah to tell him that he was about to die. Hezekiah prayed to God to give him some more time on earth, and the Most High granted him 15 more years.
The Prophet must have wondered, “But Lord, forever O Lord, Your word is settled” Psalm 119:89, and God must have responded, “I am the One who said it. I am the One reversing it”.
He can also overrule Himself to punish a man. When you read 1 Samuel 2:30, you see Him overruling Himself to punish Eli.
This is where we need to be very careful. The Most High is a wonderful friend to have. When He is on your side, He can overrule anybody or anything that is against you, but He is a very dangerous enemy.
Father, please help me to continually be on your side in Jesus name.
Shalom!
