John 13:7
John 13:7
Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
In life, there are certain things that happen to us that we do not understand, nor can we explain. We don't understand their significance in our lives, so we become indifferent towards them. We may not pay so much attention to them at present, but in the long run, we will understand their importance to our lives. Our God is omniscient, which implies that He knows all things, even the end from the beginning. By His foreknowledge, He orchestrates the events in our lives according to His eternal purpose for us. Before our salvation experience, we allowed fate or our reasoning to dictate the direction of our lives. We were ignorant of God's plans and purposes because we were blinded to the truth by the gods of this world. But when we were saved, the veil was removed, and God's light found entry into our lives so we could pursue the purpose for which we were called. As we progress in our walk with God, we intensify our fellowship with the Holy Spirit, who knows all the 'mysteries' of our lives. We are able to grasp the significance of our experiences, whether they are good or bad. Just like Job, we should trust that God understands the reason for their occurrence, thereby causing everything to work out for our good. We don't have to know and understand everything because we have a God who does.
Ephesians 1:13
In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.
Psalms 62:5
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.
Psalms 37:7
Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Psalms 9:10
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
