“O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O LORD, You know it all.” – Psalm 139:1-4
We have all been there — we have all been in seasons of the unknown. Maybe you lost a job or a loved one and you fear what tomorrow holds. But what happens when the dust settles? What happens when life calms down and you don’t know the next step? Whatever weighs heavy on you today, remember that God is the author and the creator of your life. God is omniscience, meaning that He is all-knowing. The steps you take are guided by a God who knows your words before they are spoken. Nothing takes Him by surprise. He knows all that there is to know and all that can be known. Change is inevitable. We know that most change is out of our control. However, God is in control of what seems out of control.
If the future feels uncertain right now and anxiety or worry keeps creeping in, remember this: When you only saw one set of footprints, God was carrying you the entire way. God never expects us to figure it out on our own. He just asks us to trust Him, to recognize that He has a hand in all things. The God that is in constant pursuit of your heart is also the one who designed you in His image.
