Devotion for August 29, 2021

“Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand everything.” (Proverbs 28:5)

The explosion of new technologies makes it possible to download vast libraries within seconds. Yet, in the face of this overflow of information, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. Grappling with our limitations, we can realize that some things are beyond our understanding. But the good news is that we serve the God who created all things and has all knowledge.

The Bible gives us this amazing promise: All limits are removed when we seek God and realize that He is ready and able to give us all the understanding we need. The Bible tells us, “those who seek the Lord understand everything.” Not because we are smarter, but because we depend on Him.

As we encounter situations we don’t understand, we can put this promise into operation. We need to seek God and ask Him for wisdom and understanding. We need to open our minds to His truth.

If you face problems that overwhelm you, use these opportunities to seek God. Ask Him to show you what to do. Fill your mind with His Word. Put His principles into practice. Ask Him to direct your path.

If you feel inadequate or helpless, remember the words of Paul reminding us to draw on God’s strength when we are weak. When we depend on Him, we are strong (2 Corinthians 12:10). Place your trust in God. Have confidence. Believe that He will provide what you need.

Prayer

Father, I commit these situations to You: ________. I believe You will provide what I need. I depend on You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Stay encouraged!
