God knows everything

Have you ever had the thought you might know more than God? Don't lie - I know y'all have at least once. I know that for me - this hasn't happened in a long time. The only time that I did think I knew more was when I would try to hide things from him. That was before I knew that God was omnipresent - meaning that he is present everywhere always.

I believe that trying to think that we know more than God is just wasted energy. It's impossible to know more! Why waste energy on the impossible? We need to save our energy to give God glory in all that we do. When we waste our time and energy on trying to out do God we will miss out on figuring out what we could do for God.

Whatever exists has already been names,
and what humanity is has been known;
no one can contend
with someone who is stronger. 

(Ecclesiastes 6:10)

I am a big component of using your time in a valuable and efficient way. Honestly, anything that doesn't fall under those categories is a waste. But it's all based on your mindset. You have to tell yourself that what you are doing is valuable and when you tell yourself something you begin to believe it.

You have to ask yourself the questions: Is what I am doing beneficial for others around me? Is what I am doing bringing be closer to Christ? Are thing decisions I am making on a daily basis helping me achieve the things I want to achieve? 

Listen - God knows and directs everything that happens, and he is in complete control of our lives, even though at times it may not seem that way. How foolish is it for us to contend with our creator, who knows us completely and can see the future?

My challenge for you is to take a step back...understand that Christ is in complete control...and live your life in such a way that is glorifying and honoring to him from the moment you wake up until the second you put your head on your pillow to go to sleep. Because I will tell you this - there is no better life to live than one that is 100% for Christ in a humble fashion. You are not your own. You are God's perfect creation that was made to honor and love him in all that you do for all the years of your life.
