God Knows

post by: Pastor Jon

Sometimes we find that the circumstances in our lives are overwhelming and confusing. Sometimes we wonder what is going on, and why things are tough. When we find our circumstances to be challenging and confusing we must remember that God says in Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” And Romans 8:28 tells us a similar message: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

We might not know what God is doing in our lives, but we must know that God knows, and that he is always up to something good in my life.

I know not, but God knows;
Oh blessed rest from fear!
All my unfolding days
To Him are plain and clear.

Each anxious puzzled “Why?”
From doubt or dread that grows,
Finds answer in this thought:
I know not, but He knows.

I cannot but God can;
Oh, balm for all my care!
The burden that I drop
His hand will lift and bear,

Though eagle pinions tire,
I walk where once I ran,

This is my strength to know:
I cannot, but God can.
