Thoughts for Life: All Knowledge

Is it in truth the will of God that leads me where I go

Has He the perfect knowledge of the seeds that I will sow

Can He see in the future all the things I'll say and do

And all the trials and turmoils of this life that I'll go through
(Google image, A God of Miracles)

You may be quick to answer yes of course I know He does

As well as He knows all the past and everything that was

And if you did then you'd be right to answer in this way

As He's the One Who knows ahead all things that we will say

And also what we're thinking long before our life drew breath

And even what we'll think and say before we cease in death

Because He is all knowing from eternity that's been

Through all the infinite beyond when He's destroyed all sin

That's what it means when God is God and not like one of us

Beyond all understanding and the simple things we trust

For He knows all dimensions not just what we feel and see

But everything that goes beyond our own humanity

Where angels work and battle for the saving of men's souls

Against the creeping darkness as they break the devil's mold

That holds through fear those captive who see death as that last end

Instead of how the Christian sees a temporary friend

By knowing death in this life is a rest where we all wait

Until the resurrection when all people learn their fate

For either trusting in the Lord and what He's planned ahead

Or fighting conscience to be cast like Satan with the dead

Where all who knew the right Way but chose self to serve in place

Of what God had ordained for them revealed by living grace

That walked and taught among us as One with humanity

And always knew each moment what the next in line would be

And shared before it happened what we needed most to know

To help our faith that's priceless in His eyes the more to grow

That when He comes in glory His elect He'll know and see

Who lived in love the Way He did to be what we can be

A people washed and purified from sin we've done before

And from the sins our fleshly lusts still worship and adore

Until by grace we realize what God observed and knew

But still through love allowed us life to do what we would do

Isaiah 43:9-12; Jeremiah 1:4-10

All Knowledge
by Lee Forbes

Let's pray-

Father, we believe that You not only have perfect knowledge of everything about us today, but You know everything about our future, and what all it holds.
Our understanding of death is to be a rest, where we'll wait until the resurrection when all people learn their fate, and we can trust in what You've planned for us through each moment til then.
Help us grow in our faith in Jesus, for He knows and sees each of us who've been washed and purified from sin.
May we be faithful to You, Father, and may we keep looking for Christ's return once all have been saved who will believe in Him.
In His Name we pray. Amen

Today's quote-

~ Eliza Hickok-

"I know not by what methods rare,

But this I know: God answers prayer.

I know not if the blessing sought

Will come in just the guise I thought.

I leave my prayer to him alone

Whose will is wiser than my own."

Cheri Fuller-

"When the love of a mother for her child is connected

with God's power through prayer, and irresistible force

is released that changes people and situations and

can even impact an entire world."

(Both quotes from her book, DANGEROUS PRAYER

pp. 148, 167)

Judy Pierce- "A Mist lingered in the atmosphere as it had for most of the past two weeks. Disappointed, I pointed my chin toward heaven and prayed, 'Father, cheer me up today and let the sun shine brightly this morning—if only for ten minutes. I thank you in Jesus’ name."
