God knows

Hello everyone,

How are you doing? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His goodness, faithfulnesss, and wisdom. The Bible tell us:

Primary Text

“And again, The Lord knows the thoughts and reasonings of the [humanly] wise and recognizes how futile they are.” 1 Corinthians 5v20 (AMP)

“And again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise; He knows they are worthless.”” 1 Corinthians 5v20 (NLT)

God knows the thoughts of those who purport to be wise, but not in His wisdom. There was once a king called Sennacherib, who was the king of Assyria, and he came against Hezekiah, the king of Judah. Sennacherib in a sense mocked God saying to Hezekiah, don’t let the God you depend on deceive you. Sennacherib was pompous and proud because he said the gods of the other nations that were destroyed did not deliver them from his predecessors. But we have a mighty God, who is like no other God. Hezekiah prayed to God saying ““LORD, the God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. Give ear, LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, LORD, and see; listen to the words Sennacherib has sent to ridicule the living God. “It is true, LORD, that the Assyrian kings have laid waste these nations and their lands. They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands. Now, LORD our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, LORD, are God.” 2 Kings 19v15-19 (NIV). Is there a situation that is making a mockery of the God you serve? Cry out to God today. Remember Psalm 34v19 (AMP) says “Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” God did deliver Hezekiah from the king of Assyria, and He will deliver you as well in Jesus name, amen.

“[But, says the God of Israel] Have you not heard how I ordained long ago what now I have brought to pass? I planned it in olden times, that you [king of Assyria] should [be My instrument to] lay waste fortified cities, making them ruinous heaps. That is why their inhabitants had little power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were like plants of the field, the green herb, the grass on the housetops, blasted before it is grown up. But [O Sennacherib] I [the Lord] know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against Me. Because your raging against Me and your arrogance and careless ease have come to My ears, therefore I will put My hook in your nose and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way you came, O king of Assyria.” 2 Kings 19v25-28 (AMP)

Prayer

Report whatever situation you are going through to the Lord.
