No One Knows What God Knows

No one knows what God knows. We may see our new president become born again and run the country under the hand of God.

To say it was a bad thing the way things have gone, without knowing God's plan is to place our trust in our own understanding, we are commanded not to do that.

Even Joseph who was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers did not whine about it. He said to his brothers later after he was in power in Egypt that "you meant it for evil but God meant it for good. God used Joseph's stint in slavery to move him up the ladder to a higher position. In that position years later God used him to actually help his brothers who didn't even recognize him. Was it bad what happened to Joseph? NO, it was God's will for a greater purpose.

Unless we can predict the future, which we had better not since divination is forbidden by God, then we must trust that God knows what He is doing.

If you believe God is in control all the time and His purposes are higher than we are able to understand then we must trust Him.

Sometimes we are so full of ourselves we think our way is always the best way, when often we are basing our thinking on our own frail flawed and selfish ideas.

Isaiah 55:7-9 "…7Let the wicked man forsake his own way and the unrighteous man his own thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that He may have compassion, and to our God, for He will freely pardon. 8“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.9“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.…"
