He Knows


Day 60
It is much easier to persevere when your eyes are lifted up to the goal at the end of the race. Keep your eyes fixed on Me. Serving Me is not to the exclusion of everything else, but brings balance to all things in your life and wisdom to deal correctly with all things that cross your path.

Know that anything which comes as a surprise to you was already calculated into my formula for you, and all the provisions to handle it have been made. You can walk in unwavering faith, because you know Me, and you know that I see all things and prepare for all things to be of good use in the lives of my children.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account [Hebrews 4:13].

People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well," they said. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak" [Mark 7:37].

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: "For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us [Romans 8:32-37].
