What I have said, that will I bring about;
what I have planned, that will I do.
—Isaiah 46:11
Peter’s goose was cooked. His execution was set for tomorrow. But tonight he was sawing logs in his cell (Acts 11:1–6). How could he do that? Well, he knew he wasn’t going to die tomorrow because Jesus had told him that he would be old when he died (Jn 21:18–19). The Lord said it—so Peter considered it as good as done.
Paul was on a sea voyage so turbulent that his 275 shipmates gave up all hope of survival (Acts 27:20). Through it all, Paul remained calm. How could he do that? Well, the Lord had told him he was going to testify in Rome (Acts 23:11). The Lord said it—so Paul considered it as good as done.
Bible promises! When the Lord says it, consider it as good as done.
What God says will happen
will happen.
