He Already Knew
I was up early writing when I heard the rain pounding outside. It was a heavy downpour. As I sat there, I listened and began to reflect on how mighty our God is. Then this thought came to me:
Man can predict when the rain will come, but man can’t stop the rain.
Isn’t that something? We think we have so much power and so much knowledge, but the truth is, we will only ever know in part. I’m reminded of God’s words to Job:
“Who makes the rain fall on barren land, in a desert where no one lives?
Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground and make the tender grass spring up?
Does the rain have a father?
Who gives birth to the dew?”
—Job 38:26, 28
I love that we serve the Creator of the world. He knows everything and is aware of what is happening long before the world was even formed. Think about that—before the existence of this world, God already had a plan. He knew exactly what would happen. He determined when we would be born, and nothing we experience surprises Him.
When we fix our focus on the Almighty God—when we remember that everything begins and ends with Him—joy, peace, comfort, and assurance begin to fill our souls. We walk and live in victory because God declared it and Jesus accomplished it.
So when the things of this world come pouring down on you and you feel overwhelmed, I invite you to stop for a moment. Look outside and see the mighty hand of God at work. The same God who commands the rain is the God who cares for you. You are His handiwork, and He takes care of His own. He has already made a way for whatever you are facing.
Prayer
Father, thank You! I praise You for the rest, peace, and joy that overflow when we take time to look at Your miraculous works. All the earth testifies to who You are. I pray that when life gets hard, the Holy Spirit will remind us of Your greatness and of who we are in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
