"My purpose will stand—and I will do all My pleasure!" Isaiah 46:10

The purpose of God cannot be frustrated. 

His holy mind can never be disappointed. 

His will is law. 

His counsel must stand. 

He is in one mind—and none can turn Him. 

He is pleased to save His people with an everlasting salvation. 

He chose them to salvation in Jesus, according to the good pleasure of His will. 

He works in them to will, and to do, according to His own good pleasure.

It is our Father's good pleasure, which gives them the kingdom. 

He accomplishes the purposes of His will by angels—they are His ministers who do His pleasure. 

He accomplishes the purposes of His will by men—both good and bad.

He accomplishes the purposes of His will by devils.

He accomplishes the purposes of His will by Jesus Christ—the pleasure of the Lord prospers in His hand. 

For His pleasure all things are, and were created. 

He works all things after the counsel of His own will. 

If God does His pleasure—our eternal interests are safe.
