Only God Knows...

“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight” – (Hebrew 4:13 NIV)

Do you feel like you are overwhelmed by the weight of life upon your shoulders? You make a lot of sacrifices and yet no one seems to take notice of what you are doing? You go through difficult moments in life but still manage to hide the pain and the hurt behind your smiles. You go through all these thinking no one will ever understand, or get the real picture of your life.

Well friend, do not be dismayed. God knows what you are going through. The difficult path that you walk right now, this too God knows and understands it perfectly. He knows and understands your worries and thoughts from a far, even the ones that dread you the most. The sacrifices that you make and the times you cry alone in the bedroom; this too God is aware of. Be encouraged. You are not alone, neither are you forgotten. You got a friend up in Heaven who knows you by name, and who had already met you even before you were formed in your mother’s womb. His name is Jesus.

The hairs on your head are all numbered. Not just by total number, but each hair individually. He knows when hair number 2055 turns gray or is cut. Nothing about your life is hidden from Him. God cares about even to the little things that don’t matter. Knowing every single detail about you is a clear demonstration of how much He has keen interest in your life. In God’s eyes, you are valuable, loved, and a friend. He’s the friend who will always want the best for you, who will never grow tired of you, whose desires are for you to enjoy life to the fullest, a faithful friend who is more than ready to help you in times of need.

As Peter write “Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.” Whatever burden you’ve been carrying alone, it is time to cast it in God’s hands. He cares for you and would love for you to live a burden free life. God cares for you and loves you more. Let Him help you.

You may have prayed about the concerns of your life but nothing seems to be ever happening. So you are tempted to ask: ‘Does God really know the urgency of my need and what is happening in my life?’ Just because you are unaware of God’s work behind the scene doesn’t mean He's unaware of what is happening in your life. 

Let go of the temptation to worry, or fear. He’s right there with you in every single step that you take. “The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit” Psalm 34:18. Remember to always look up to God whenever trials are heavy upon you. May you find comfort in knowing that God had already worked out your case even before the problem arose.

WALKING WITH GOD IN EVERY SEASON

How Joseph’s Life Reveals God’s Faithfulness Through Every Stage of Our Journey Like the tides of water, life seems to follow the movement of rising and falling. Even as seasons in our lives keep on changing, God doesn’t. He remains faithful in every season. His presence meets us even in the most unlikely and unfamiliar places and in desperate situations. His presence goes with us even when circumstances appear as though we are abandoned, forgotten, and defeated. God is the author of your story, just as He was with Joseph’s. He’s writing new chapters and preparing your breakthroughs, unimagined new opportunities, and restoration. In Genesis 39, Joseph finds himself in unfamiliar circumstances. Being sold as a slave in a foreign land would only indicate that his life was on a downward trend. However, even as the tide turned against him, painting a picture of loneliness, betrayal, and abandonment, he was not alone. Genesis 39:2 reads, “ The LORD was with Joseph so that he prospered .” G...

God Calls, Covers, and Completes

" Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus ". -Philippians 1:6 In Nehemiah Chapter Two, we find Nehemiah heavily burdened by the news he received about the city of Jerusalem, whose walls were broken down and gates burned with fire. Nehemiah, still in exile, served as a cupbearer for the Persian king. As he was serving the king with wine, the king noticed that Nehemiah was troubled at heart. Nehemiah told the king about how the city of Jerusalem was in ruins and asked for permission to rebuild it. Not only that, but he also asked for resources to rebuild it. And the king granted his request. The king of Persia could have denied Nehemiah’s request, but instead, he granted it. All these requests were granted to Nehemiah, “ because the gracious hand of my God was on me .” – Nehemiah 2:8. God has a purpose and a mission for each one of us. Even before we realise what His missions for us are, Hi...

Trust Beyond the Silence

  “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. ” – Psalm 13:5 Psalm 13 is one of the shortest psalms of David, and yet a powerful one. In this psalm, three times he asks, ‘ How long? ’ indicating a phase of deep distress and abandonment in his life. He begins this psalm by asking God, “ How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” Just as David did, when we are in distress, abandoned, lonely and forgotten. Or when we are in a season of waiting and things seem to move more slowly, we often find ourselves complaining to God with questions like, ‘Why me, LORD? Why do I have to suffer this? How long will I endure this pain and sickness? How long will you let them continue to torment me? When will you look to me with favour? Often, when we don’t have what we need or are not where we should be, we begin to complain, find fault and lose faith in God’s plan. And yet we forget that God is ever faithful, even in momen...
