Dec.29.03: Light For The Day - "God's Wisdom" -- Romans 11:33-36 "33 O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!  How unsearchable are His judgments and how inscrutable His ways! 34 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been His counselor?" 35 "Or who has given a gift to Him that He might be repaid?" 36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be glory for ever." -- Proverbs 3:5  "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." ----------------------- The end of another year is approaching, and people are already predicting what the new year holds. A year from now most of them probably will have missed the target! The fact is, no one knows the future - except God. We even know so little about the world in which we live. No doubt scientists will continue to uncover astonishing facts about the universe. But even then, they will know only a miniscule amount compared with the total sum of potential knowledge. But God is infinite! He knows it all - because He created it in the first place. We will always be bewildered and confused by what we don't know, if we are honest. We don't even know our immediate futures; as James said, "You do not know what will happen tomorrow" (James 4:14). What should this mean? It should give us humility before God, and it should give us trust - trust in the God who does know our futures, and who works all things for His glory. You can trust all your tomorrows to Him! -- Billy Graham ----------------------------- -- Proverbs 3:19  "The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens." -- Psalms 111:10  "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who practice it. His praise endures for ever!" -- Proverbs 2:6  "For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." -- Isaiah 55:6-11  "6 Seek the LORD while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will freely pardon. 8 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the LORD. 9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. 10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." -- Ephesians 1:17  "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better."
