Total Perfect Triumph

“Thus says the LORD, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;
but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.” Jeremiah 9: 23-24.

God has made a perfect plan: total in scope, perfect, and designed for His pleasure, glory, and triumph.  God perfectly executes his plan: totally accomplishing every detail, perfectly accomplishing every detail, and triumphantly accomplishing every detail, all in a way which perfectly brings God total perfect triumph.  God delights in these things, and we exult in total perfect triumph in Christ.
 

Consider Isaiah 46: 9-11:
“Remember the former things long past,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things which have not been done,
Saying, ‘ My purpose will be established,
And I will accomplish all My good pleasure
‘;
Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man of My purpose from a far country.
Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass.
I have planned it, surely I will do it.

God accomplishes all of His good purpose.  Total Perfect Triumph.

Consider John 6: 28-29:
“Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.’ ” 

God changes the focus from what man should do to what God has done.  God changes the focus from works to faith.  God changes the focus from man generating his own faith to God even giving faith.  Total Perfect Triumph.

John 1:12-13:
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,
who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
” 

God elects and give birth to His children.  Total Perfect Triumph. 

In summary: Psalm 115:3 states:
But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases.

God does whatever he pleases.  Total Perfect Triumph.

So, our response is:
“Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God;” Revelations 19: 1b.
“Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.” Revelations 19: 6b. 
(Emphasis added in the above Scriptures).

Total Perfect Triumph.
