Know it All!

Having a 21 month old daughter I can already tell that she is going to think she knows it all. In fact many times I believe she already does think that.  Being her mother, I may not know all the answers or have the perfect solution but I know more than her; just as my parents know more than me (don't tell them I admit that).  Our current issue is sleep, she is under the belief that she does not need a nap.  I have tried making her take a nap to no avail, I have allowed her to take a later nap just so she wouldn't be in a bad mood to only find she will not go to sleep until 1 in the morning then, and I have also made her stay up all day to be in a bad mood later yet go to bed nicely at a reasonable hour.  None of my solutions have worked and we are still dealing with the sleep strike!  So as I said I may know more than her but I don't have the solution YET! :)

I am so grateful that as a daughter of Jehovah God I do not have to worry about if He knows everything of if He has the perfect solution to my problem.  One thing I know I can be sure of is that He does know everything and He has the solution before the problem ever arrives! My Lord has reminded me of this once again this week.  Lately things have been pretty "dry" I guess you could say.  We have been really discouraged in ministry and some things in life.  Like a know it all child, I have tried fixing things myself and that got me no where! Just when I felt that I was at my wits ends God sends a very on time word!  We are having what I like to call a "spontaneous" revival this week, because until last Friday we didn't know we were having it.  I know that God had this in the works long before Friday though.  God opened the door for an evangelist to come to our church and the word that God is speaking through this man is exactly what we have needed.  

Each service has hit the nail on the head, and each service God has just revealed a little bit more of His plan.  Last night (Monday) at the end of the service I couldn't stop crying because I saw things happening around me that I have only been able to slightly hope for.  Yet my all knowing heaven Father knew they were so possible!  Not only were things happening around me, but in me as well.  I had been holding on to things that I needed to let go.  I thought holding on to them would solve the problem, but I had to let go for God to solve them for me.  I may be young but I can only think of the song "He is an on time God!" 

I know God has even more in store for us these last two nights, but it's not going to stop Wednesday with the evangelist leaves! God has brought His refreshing Spirit to us so that we may continue to do His will! 

When my knowledge and logic fail me I have a God that does "know it all"!

Job 37:16

Do you know the balancings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge.
