Daily Reading: Isaiah Chapter 27 thru Chapter 30


Key Verses: Isaiah 29:15-16


Can anything be hidden from God?  Do you think God knows the most secret of your secrets?  He does.  It is ridiculous to think that we can hide something from the one who knows our thoughts before we think them.  God is All knowing -- that encompasses everything.  If you don't console God in everything you do, is that the same as hiding your plans?  Yes.  How many times have you experienced "Woe" because you didn't talk to God first?  He loves His children with the deepest love and only wants His best for all of them.  What are some reasons people would attempt to hide plans from God?  What has been your experience when you have submitted your plans to God?  God desires to establish you today.  Submit to God everything today and be blessed.

Making sure God okays my plans is a big deal. Sometimes I forget because I feel that the plan was directly given from Him and I shouldn't have to consider Him. Later, only finding out the the plan was not totally from Him, but more so a test. To allow me to show myself approved by God.

During our bible studies when the teacher said that we should praise God for 10 minutes minimum before sharing a new plan with someone else. Celebrate God. Question God. Why am I doing this? What do you want me to do with this?

This has helped me greatly.

Teach us, Help us, Show us Your Way, Lord. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Our God is the Creator of every living thing. The question posed is, "why would His own creation think they can do anything unknown to Him?" It goes as deep as before anything becomes a thought to us- God already knows, and has ordained the outcome. Mr. Ronald Isley said it best: "try to slick a can of oil who you think you fooling." Though his song was for a different reason; in my opinion the principle is the same. There is absolutely no one that can pull the wool over God's eye. God is great, and His word speaks truth to all.

Thank You Father for creating me, in Jesus name-Amen.
