Ep. 210: When the Lord Has Determined

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 210, “When the Lord Has Determined,” Kim discusses the fact that what the Lord determines WILL come to pass. Human beings can plot their grand schemes, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.

 

Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Samuel 17:1-14 with 14 as the focal verse.

 

14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “Hushai’s advice is better than Ahithophel’s.” For the Lord had determined to defeat the counsel of Ahithophel, which really was the better plan, so that he could bring disaster on Absalom!
