“But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth. For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him” (Job 23:13-14).

Consider the statements in this one verse of scripture. First, t
he LORD is not double-minded as we are. “He is in one mind.” Second, none can turn God from His purpose. Though we are easily influenced and though we can be deterred from our purpose and our work, the LORD cannot be turned. He is both sovereign and almighty. “Who can turn Him?” Third, whatever He desires, He does. He is self-sufficient in Himself. He needs nothing. He gives to all life, breath and all things. He in influenced by none. He influences all. He cannot discouraged. He uplifts the down-trodden. He cannot fail. “Whatever His soul desireth, even that He doeth.” This is grace unspeakable:  The desire of His soul is to save the worst of sinners (Rom. 5:5-11; 1 Tim. 1:13-15; Rom. 8:33-34)! Fourth, He Himself does for me what He appointed because of His desire. “He performeth the thing that is appointed for me.” Finally, there is no end to His understanding. No complete search can be made of His works. “Many such things are with Him!” From eternity to everlasting ages, there are many such things that He has revealed which we do not yet understand, many things to be explained that have been revealed and many things yet to be revealed. All that the LORD does, He does by His Son (Heb. 1:1-3; Col. 1:16; John 1:1-3). Let us proclaim His eternal work in our salvation. Let us go to Him at all times, bringing our praises, pouring out our supplications for His help. “Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake” (Psalm 79:9)! “For the LORD is a great God” (Psalm 95:3). He is the great and only Savior of great sinners (Psa. 25:11; Heb. 7:25)! Therefore, “I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me” (Psalm 57:2).
