HE KNOWS

October 21, 2014

Every father knows that the moment another school term is about to commence, tuition should be getting ready, textbooks money should be budgeted for, school bus fee should be planned and lunch fee as well. Even when the tuition isn’t paid as at when due, the child goes to the father, “Daddy, our teacher said that anyone that doesn’t pay his tuition will not be allowed to attend classes from next week.” In order words, I have come to remind you in case you have forgotten, of which he hasn’t.

One thing about God is that He is all-knowing. Remember what God told Jeremiah in Jer 1:5 that, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” Most times when we go to God in the place of prayer, we think that we are telling God something new and in most of those cases, we use vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking (Matt 6:7), however, Matt 6:8 says, “Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.”

God knows all the things you need, He knows what is best for you and He is saving it until the right time comes. It is like boarding an airplane, God is the pilot and you are the passenger, just trust that He will take you to the right destination. So, if God knows everything, why then do I still need to pray? Prayer is an act of showing dependency on God that you know He knows what He is doing. The child is asking the father for tuition not because the father doesn’t know but just to make him understand that, “Daddy, you are my only source.”

God knows your future, start trusting Him.

Remain blessed!
