We Don't Need To Know Everything

              

             

Sounds harsh? It’s simply the truth. Read on and you’ll see why.

The LORD our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all words of this law. Duet. 29:29
Paraphrasing here, there are many things God has already made known to us.

And there are also things that only He knows and probably would never be revealed to us. No one likes to hear that. Therefore, in this season… Trust Him. We do not need to know everything. Wanting and needing to know is a form of control. Why do we want so much control? Then we wouldn’t have to put our faith into action and trust God. I mean, life would be much easier right? God’s not having any of that. There’s no shortcut in Christianity. He wants us to mature spiritually.

2Pet. 1:3-6 tells us by His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. Make every effort to add faith, goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness.

Relinquish control and surrender to God. Don’t complain, worry and take matters into your own hands. Quit striving harder and trust more. Complete trust is when we stop reacting. Either you and I can choose to trust Him or keep taking this test over and over and over again until He wins. After all, His purpose will prevail, Proverbs 19:21.
 
Trusting is obedience. Let’s make sure we pass this test. Be a doer of the Word and not merely being hearers who deceive themselves. James 1:22

Blessings!
