Omniscient: Knowing all things, this is what our God is. He's infinitely smarter than you or I could ever think of being. With this knowledge in hand I ponder something that, admittedly, I struggle with. I always hear people saying how smart God is, how He knows best and better than us, how HE HAS A PLAN! But yet sometimes those same people, I being one of them, be so unwilling to accept a decision or decree that God has given and move forward with it. "God is the best of planners and providers" someone will say but then argue with and try to change the plan God has given and question or grumble about His provision and the manner in which He provided it. Or the all time favorite "All things work for the good..." If this scripture is true and we know it is then why do we complain so much when something doesn't go the way we think it should, or we are faced with a bit of adversity. Shouldn't we actually be praising God for what He's going to do in our lives through the adversity? Isn't that what faith actually is, THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. So if my faith is real, true, genuine, faith and I really believe that My God is doing what's best for me every moment of every day and truly trust Him to do so then shouldn't I accept the things that come into my life with appreciation, with thanks. Of course I should. GIVE THANKS IN ALL THINGS is what the bible instructs me. Not only in good times or when things are going right but at all times and in all things. And that's my desire today. Today I want to learn to be able to accept what God plans and wills for my life. What He places in it and what He allows to be there. I want to accept what's given knowing its what's best for me even if I can't exactly see that in that moment. And so my word of encouragement for the readers and for myself is this: Let us accept the things God is doing and will do in and through us without question, complaint, hesitation or defiance. He knows what he's doing!
