Who is like me?

 Like a lion coming up from the thickets of the Jordan to a perennial pasture, I will suddenly chase them away from her, and I will appoint over her whomever I choose. For who is like me? Who can summon me? Who is the shepherd who can stand before me

(Jeremiah 50:44, NRSVue)

God is not hindered in accomplishing his will. He is all powerful and nothing or no one can stop him. His prophetic words have been fulfilled in many cases yet there remains more that will be fulfilled in the future. Some of the prophecies spoken against Babylon were accomplished but several will be accomplished in the last days. Satanic forces are constantly trying to stop the plans of God but they cannot keep him from doing what he has promised. God is in control and we can rest in this knowledge and assurance. He can make sudden changes that will surprise his enemies. He is the sovereign Lord who cannot be controlled.
