FAITH CAPSULE: Knowing that He knows all, it is important to call on Him for all.
Genesis 11:1-9
God alone knows more about all because He alone created all. For God, no qualified doctor was contracted to help God in creating any man. God alone is perfect God of creation. God knows all about all.
God spoke to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5) The word of God to Jeremiah speaks to all without any exception. God alone knows our end from the beginning. Whatever God propose no man can dispose. What God dispose no man can propose it. What are you proposing without asking from God? Knowing that He knows all, it is important to call on Him for all. It does not matter what you are, who you are, or where you are. You have to remember that all are under heaven and not beyond the Creator’s reach.
In the bible days people did not propose before God that knows about all intention, “And they said, ‘Come let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.’” (Genesis 11:4) The proposed building was not the problem, but the motive behind the proposal was in conflict with the Almighty God of creation. Having been blessed with a plain land where there was obstruction for construction, the people wanted to construct and grow beyond their boundary.
Are you proposing of abusing God’s blessing by attempting to make yourself a name instead of having His name to be glorified? Do you want to stand tall above and know better than your creator? Are you also considering raising your shoulder above your head? Have you taken all proposed to God? Nothing is wrong in proposing to grow big or to multiply in the blessings of God. The proposal, however, that does not center on God is an indirect withdrawal from the only One who can make or unmake the fulfillment of the proposal.
It does not matter how huge or small is your proposal; take it to Him today in prayer. Let it be that you are letting Him know what He has already known. He has seen the future from the past. He is a jealous God and He deserves all your attention so He can attend to you even more than you expectation. Take all your proposals, desires, hopes and dreams to the Lord with a humble heart and He will increase you.
Prayer for today: Ask for grace and praise God with all your heart.
