WHO KNEW? GOD KNEW!
READING: 1 CORINTHIANS 2:6-11
It is amazing how God is always infinitely ahead of us. We reach resolutions to countless situations in our lifetimes. As those accomplishments are achieved, hindsight frequently reveals that the Lord had previously made arrangements for us. It was those prior arrangements that finally, just the right time, produced the results that were obtained. The Lord faithfully did that for Gideon. Judges 7 describes how Gideon had some fears about attacking the enemy. The Lord instructed him to spy on the enemy camp to find out what the opposing soldiers were saying about the battle. Gideon obeyed and heard them interpreting a dream that predicted the Israelites’ victory. That gave Gideon the confidence he needed to attack a vastly larger army. God had put words into the mouths of the soldiers, that were just what Gideon needed to hear. As quoted in verse 9 above, in other passages as well, and also in the lives of the saints down through the ages: the Lord’s message is consistent. The Holy Spirit continually affirms to us that divine preparations have always been, and always will be, in place to provide abundantly for our lives. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.
