There isn’t one day in our lives that God doesn’t already know about. We may encounter surprises or unexpected circumstances, but God is never surprised. He knows everything we do before we do it. We may not always be prepared, but God is. He has every answer we need, and He will accomplish all that He has purposed for us. Our part is to walk with Him, and follow in obedience.
1 You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
Psalm 139:1-4 (NIV)
God wants to use each one of us for His purposes, which sometimes requires us to step out of our comfort zones. Our confidence should be in Him, not in our own abilities. As we take the first step, God is at our side, guiding us. He will equip us for any task He brings our way. Past mistakes or fear will attempt to hold us back, but God doesn’t require perfection; He wants our love, trust, and obedience. As we follow His lead and do our part, He will do those things we can’t do; He will make a way. Our challenge is to take the first step.
It is in our nature to want to know things in advance, but according to Scripture, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:1 KJV
Our eyes should be on Him and what He can do – not on ourselves and what we can do. We are limited, God is not.
