God knows whatever it is you’re facing today. He knows how you got into that situation and he knows how you will get out of it.
The six teenagers were lying flat on their backs on the grass gazing up at the Milky Way against a night black canvas. Myriad stars blinked and glistened, light years above them. “Spectacular, isn’t it?” I said. The mesmerised stargazers made no comment. “Do you know that we are on the edge of our galaxy looking back into it, at about 200 billion stars spanning a distance of about 100,000 light-years? This means that little star’s twinkle over there,” I said pointing to a speck of cosmic glitter far away, “may be a hundred thousand years in the past. You’re gazing across space and time, beyond your wildest imagination.”
From where these teenagers were lying on the earth’s grass, they could see vast swathes of the Milky Way galaxy. It was as if they were looking at the whole picture. God views our lives like that. He can see our beginning and our end in one picture. The Lord sees you for who you are and where you are in space and time. To Apostle John on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said “I am the Alpha and the Omega, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Notice the conjunction word “and”. God is simultaneously past, present and future. In other words, he is not confined by the bounds of time. On the contrary, time is confined by God.
2 Corinthians 4:8
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal
As those teenagers gazed across time looking at those stars, so God sees your whole life in one picture. God knows whatever it is you’re facing today. He knows how you got into that situation and he knows how you will get out of it. In fact, he’s there already on the other side of that wall meeting your every need.
God saw you in the womb and he can see you in the tomb. Step back and let him guide you by his Word and his Spirit. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” If you continue to acknowledge God in all your ways you can trust his course for your life. God sees the big picture.
God-tracking is seeing your life through his eyes.
IT’S ALL IN THE BIBLE. READ ALL ABOUT IT. (NKJV)
Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you!
Psalm 139:1-3
