Using Scripture, I would like to remind you of who our God is:
"O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep." Psalm 92:5
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last." Revelation 22:13
"Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him..." John 18:4
"But He knows the way that I will take; When He has tested me, I will come forth as gold." Job 23:10
"The Lord knows the way of the righteous...(Psalm 1:6); He knows the days of the upright...(Psalm 37:18); He knows the secrets of the heart (Psalm 44:21); He knows the thoughts of man...(Psalm 94:11); He knows our frame...(Psalm 103:14)."
"For your Father knows the things that you have need of before you ask Him." Matthew 6:8
Hmmm...And we, in our fallible state, want to understand His omniscience?! Even if He shared a glimpse of His plan with us, it would not make sense. It would not compute. We would be unable to process all that He knows. All we can do is prepare ourselves to deal with the things we don't understand by being firmly rooted in His Word. If you were not baffled by God, He wouldn't be worth worshiping. He would not be God if He made sense to you! "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9.
For you and I Friend, I pray the truth found in Psalms 19:12. "Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults." All we can do is draw near to the One who knows it ALL and already has every detail worked out for our good. "For I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11.
So what can we know?

"By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us His Spirit." 1 John 4:13
"We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but He who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him." 1 John 5:18
"Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments...But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him." 1 John 2:3;5
"We know love, because He laid down His life for us...we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him." 1 John 3:16;19
"We know that we are of God..." 1 John 5:19

Find Joy in Him, Beloved!
