Well I have done some thinking this week..about Thankful Thursday that is! Well I have decided to take an interesting spin on thankful Thursday. I am going to dwell on the attributes of God and why I am thankful hat the one true God has that attribute.
So let’s start off with the three O’s. I will do each O over three weeks,,,
This week is Omniscience meaning ALL-KNOWING! I thought this was fitting after this past Tuesday when some people are very upset about who was elected!
As Christians we Pray and pray and pray for God’s will to be done. We vote for who we think will be the best choice and THEN we get angry because the “WRONG” guy was elected!!!
Whoa! Wait a Minute..Didn’t we just say that we prayed for God’s will. So many times I forget that God knew this was going to happen. HE KNEW He was NOT surprised!!!
I am thankful That the God of the Universe is not surprised by ANYTHING that happenes in this world. Let’s think about what life would be like if God could be surprised…God could sin…The element of surprise causes reactions that lead to sin…Doesn’t that just rock your world as a believer!
As a sinner I sometimes wish that God didn’t know everything..but knowing that God does know everything that I have done or said helps me be able to talk to Him!!
I am thankful that God knows everything! He knows what is going to happen with each new day and He can help us deal with these things.
I had a friend is college whose father was a pastor. She is a lovely young woman . She fell in love with a young man but suddenly she found herself with tons of inner turmoil. She would cry and weep and had no idea what all of this was about. She was relying on God for the very strength to make it through a day. Through doing that she drew closer and closer to God. That relationship was necessary for what she was about to endure. The young man she fell in love with passed away very suddenly. God knew about that before it happened. The young woman was able to withstand the trauma of this because her relationship with God was stronger than ever. She told our discipleship group that God knew she wasn’t strong enough to deal with that tragedy on her own so he drew her closer than ever before..and she made it. Though this young man and young woman planned to marry, those plans have been ripped from her! Wouldn’t you know God had already had another young man in store for her and she has since been married….So whatever you are going through God knows..Rest in That!!
