“God Already Knows”
“So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him,
lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an
everlasting Rock [the Rock of Ages].” Isaiah 26:4 AMP
I am familiar with feeling as
if I am all alone. That, God, is nowhere around and does not hear my
prayers...my supplications being ignored. In the meantime, my heart is breaking;
my soul is aching, my mind, and emotions becoming numb while a feeling of being
lost consumes you with no foreseeable way out of a long winding hurtful maze. What
I know: God is not sleeping. Neither is He winking. He sits high upon His
throne, as He also walks among man. He knows the heart through and through. He
sees what many cannot see or are unwilling to see. He knows our thoughts and
our intentions. He already knows the hurt and heartaches. He knows the reasons
and He is taking care of all things; even if we cannot see Him, He is moving on
our behalf.
I decree that this week's
Reflections will be a continued source of encouragement and inspiration
for your heart, mind, and soul. There is no need to hide from God when He
already knows. However, we must confess and repent and be made free.
Acknowledge who the Father is, and be free from those things that would bind
us. Whether it is a person, place, or thing—God is on it.
God is pulling back the covers,
exposing the truth and revealing the wolves in sheep's clothing. Many may deny the
truth concerning their wicked and hateful hearts, and depraved minds; but they
will never escape the hand of God. As many, an elder would say: "Your arms are too short to box with
God." We cannot outrun God or hide from Him. No matter what we do or
think, you can believe God already knows. This...I know for certain.
There is a war going on in
this world. It's been going on for a long time; ever since the fall of man. The
war between good and evil. Though it seems that evil has been winning many a
battle, the truth is that good has already won the war. God is not ignoring our
heartache, our pain, or even our confusion at some things. He is our Champion,
and if we trust Him, we will see His
hand move on our behalf.
We really cannot explain why
people do what they do. Were they taught to be that way? Did they assume that
character, believing that it would serve them and their lifestyle? Why some
more caring than others are. Why do some seek to destroy while others seek to
build? We know as long as we are upon this earth waiting for Christ's return, there
will always be the two: good and evil. We must determine what side we are on,
and not straddle the fence.
There are many of us that
become disillusioned with God; not understanding His ways. We do not understand
His thoughts. Therefore, we do not understand why God, who says He loves us,
would allow such travesties to continue to happen in our lives. God has given
dominion of the earth to man. He has given each and every one us the freedom to
choose which path we walk in this life. God already knows which way a person
will go. He already knows who will yield and submit. He knows who will not. Yet
He extends His love and His mercy towards us all.
Job 34:21 “For His eyes are upon
the ways of man, and He seeth all his goings.”
Proverbs 5:21 “For the ways of man
are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his doings.”
Jeremiah 17:10 “I, the Lord,
search the heart; I try the reins, even to give every man according to his
ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”
Isaiah 55:8 “For My thoughts are
not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” saith the Lord.
We have all been extended the
mercy and grace of God. However, there is a time of judgment coming. When we
spend too much time considering the paths of others, we may find ourselves
becoming agitated, and falling short of the mark that God has called for our
lives. We must continually walk in the presence and mind of Christ. We must
yield to God every day, understanding that God will take care of our enemy.
Our lives cannot be lived by
what others are doing. Our walk, in God, cannot be established by the actions of
another. It must be based upon our own, personal intimate relationship with the
Father. Though it seems that many are getting away with evil, do not be fooled.
God is not sleeping. He is moving in ways we cannot see or even understand. Our
walk, however, must be our focus. We cannot save anyone else. We can share the
truth of the word of God. We can lead them, and live by example. However, we
cannot choose a life of righteousness for no one other than ourselves. The
choice will always be theirs. For those who seem to be getting away with
atrocities; know that God already knows.
Galatians 6:6-8 Let him that is
taught in the word share with him that teacheth, in all good things. Be not
deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but
he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
God hears you, beloved. God
already knows, and He has made a way for you. Do not be distracted by the evil
of others. Do not be deterred from your walk in Christ. Do not give up or lose
faith because of the actions of others; even when it hurts and all you have
done is love. Hold on, and to know that God has worked it all out for you.
Stand firm and stay focused. Continue to walk by faith and not by what it looks
like. God has the final word.
My Beloved, I decree that the
spirit of peace and prosperity have found permanent rest in your life. Take
comfort in the knowledge that God already knows, and that He has worked it all
out for you. Trust God with all your heart. Continue to walk in faith, knowing
in your heart that God knows just what He is doing; we still win. You are blessed
and favored! Now go...and be a blessing!
