"Have you not read this scripture passage:
‘The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
by the Lord has this been done,
and it is wonderful in our eyes’?” (Mark 12: 10 - 11)
The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. God is Master of surprises. Sometimes He springs His surprises through reversals of position. The first becomes the last; the last becomes the first. Some other interesting reversals in the Bible are shown below:
"He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones
but lifted up the lowly.
The hungry he has filled with good things;
the rich he has sent away empty." Luke 1: 52 and 53)
"The well-fed hire themselves out for bread,
while the hungry no longer have to toil.
The barren wife bears seven sons,
while the mother of many languishes." (1 Samuel 2: 5)
"He raises the needy from the dust;
from the ash heap lifts up the poor,
To seat them with nobles
and make a glorious throne their heritage.
“For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s,
and he has set the world upon them." (1 Samuel 2: 8)
"He guards the footsteps of his faithful ones,
but the wicked shall perish in the darkness;
for not by strength does one prevail." (1 Samuel 2: 9)
O Lord my God, how happy I am because my destiny is completely in your hands. I will trust you to make me whatever you like.
"My destiny is in your hands;" (Psalm 31: 16)
