Father Knows Best! (Daily Devotional)

Greetings and welcome to Living Supernaturally. Thank you once again for giving us this opportunity to come together and spend a few moments in the word and pray. Father knows best! Mathew chapter 6, verses 5 through 8, ‘“And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. “Therefore, do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.’ God is omniscient. God knows all things, the past, the present and future. God is the source of all knowledge. God knows our potentials in every situation. He knows our every thought, even before we think it, He knows our every word, even before we speak of it. God always seeks our best interests and since He is all knowing, our Father really knows what is best for us. Sometimes, in the natural, as a father, I want to do what is best for my children. God has the power to accomplish more than we can ask, more than we can think, more than we can imagine. In our short sightedness, we sometimes think we know better than God and we ask for things that will unravel our lives. We even get angry when the Father fails to give us what we ask for. Our knowledge is limited, God is the source of all knowledge. Knowing that God is omniscient, shall allow us to trust in His will, trust in His word and trust in His timing. If God knows everything, then we wonder why do we go through painful situations and why does suffering continue? We may doubt God’s goodness and His plan. Job’s story of suffering reminds us that we don’t know everything and there are some things that we will never comprehend with our own finite knowledge. Though we don’t know all things, and we don’t know all the answers, God knows. Thank God for His perfect Father care over our lives. Jesus let go off His own desires and submitted to the Fathers will. Jesus trusted that His death was necessary for God’s perfect plan. As we pray, we need not tell God what His will is for our lives, we need to simply surrender to His perfect will and thank Him for His constant love and care upon our lives. Our Father desires nothing but the best for His children. Let’s pray, Father, we thank you, that we can surrender our will, our emotions, our plans for we know that you have good plans for us. We pray that we will submit to you in every way, that we will be assured that you know what is happening in our lives and you are a God who sees all things, you know the past, you know the present and you know the future and you will direct our paths. We thank you for this assurance, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
