Our Lord Knows Everything
Scripture Exodus 11:9 The LORD had said to Moses, “Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you–so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt.”
Observation: If we listen God will tell us what we need to know, but He is not going to yell and we are going to have to sit still and be quiet to hear. There isn’t anything God doesn’t know whether in the past, present or future. That doesn’t mean everything is good, but again if you focus on God you will be able to see what His plan is. God doesn’t do things for kicks, He does them for a reason and our thoughts are not like His, His are higher than the sky so we need to hear from Him to tell it to us in layman terms.
Application: I need to spend more quiet time with my heavenly Father. I pray, but I do most of the talking. When something happens around me I need to stop and ask God what it is I’m to learn, not necessarily do. I’m good at talking but not very good at listening and I need to do better for God and with others.
Prayer: My Lord I’m a stiff necked man and I’m so ashamed of that. I look at my viewpoints at times to be the only good ones. Humble me and make me a better listener that I will listen much more than I speak. Turn me into the man that pleases you.
