God thought of everything you need

“You saw me before I was born…Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.” Psalm 139:16 NLT

Way before God set earth’s foundations, He had you in mind. He thought of all you could conceivably need. Mind boggling, isn’t it? A respected author wrote, “God planned for every contingency you might ever encounter, before the beginning of time…It is impossible for finite minds to comprehend the sovereignty of God, but let me put it in chess terms. In 1997 a team of IBM engineers designed and developed Deep Blue, the computer that outmaneuvered chess grand master Garry Kasparov. Deep Blue was equipped with thirty-two processing engines that could calculate 200 million chess moves per second…I have a tough time with the fifty-fifty stuff. True or false. Right or left. Chocolate or vanilla. I can’t even imagine contemplating 200 million contingencies in a split second. [That’s] laughable compared to the omniscient One who took every contingency into consideration before a nanosecond had even ticked off the clock of time. Think of your life as a game of chess. You are the pawn, and God is the Grand Master. You have no idea what your next move should be, but God already has the next 200 million moves planned out.” God said, “I make known the end from the beginning” (Isaiah 46:10 NIV). Are you grappling with knowing God’s will for your life? Here is the simple truth: God wants you to arrive where He wants you to go more than you want to arrive where God wants you to go. And if you keep in step with the Spirit, God will make certain you arrive where He wants you to go.

Bible in a Year:Hebrews 7-10
