Isaiah 46:9-10\u00a0<\/b>\u201cRemember the former things,\u00a0those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.\u00a0 10\u00a0I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times,\u00a0what is still to come.\u00a0 I say, \u2018My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
Only God is omniscient.\u00a0\u00a0The devil is intelligent, though not wise or he wouldn\u2019t have rebelled against God.\u00a0\u00a0But he is smart, and he is superhumanly experienced, and can somewhat figure out from Scripture what will be happening in the future.\u00a0\u00a0That is why\u00a0Revelation 12:12b-c<\/b>\u00a0states\u00a0\u201c\u2026But woe\u00a0to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you!\u00a0\u00a0He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0\u00a0Jesus pointed out that many people, saved or not, can read weather indicators to know what weather is coming.\u00a0\u00a0From that Jesus has said that people, even those unsaved in His audience, should be able to read what was coming from what was predicted in scripture.\u00a0\u00a0(Luke 12:56<\/b>)\u00a0\u00a0So the devil can know some of what is coming from knowing scripture and so should we be able to do that.\u00a0\u00a0After all, we have the Spirit of God within us teaching and instructing us.\u00a0\u00a0We should be better at understanding the prophecies from God than the devil.\u00a0\u00a0We need to be guided by the Spirit of God when studying the Word of God since the Holy Spirit is the one who opens the Scriptures up to us.\u00a0\u00a0(1 Corinthians 2:12-16<\/b>)<\/p>\n
Further proof that the devil is not omniscient is in\u00a0Daniel 2:1-49<\/b>\u00a0when King Nebuchadnezzar wanted his wise men of the world to not only interpret the dream he had but also to tell him what the dream was without the king telling them.\u00a0\u00a0They protested that no-man could do that.\u00a0\u00a0The King became irate and was going to kill all his seers.\u00a0\u00a0However, Daniel was notified and the Lord revealed to him not only what the dream had been but the interpretation of it.\u00a0\u00a0So these worldly magicians who are clearly noted as servants of the devil (Deuteronomy 18:9-13<\/b>) and not God, could not know the future, but God did and told it to Daniel.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019d call that an advantage!\u00a0\u00a0An advantage that saved Daniel\u2019s life and all the fake prophets.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s good to be, like Daniel, a child of God.<\/p>\n
Family, we can trust God who knows all and who calls things that are not yet as though they are.\u00a0\u00a0(Romans 4:17<\/b>)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0He can do that because if God knows it, it will be because He is never wrong. We love and serve He who knows all the past, the present, and who knows the future with one hundred percent accuracy.\u00a0\u00a0For questions about the future we seek the Holy Spirit to reveal the Word.\u00a0\u00a0For questions about our ever present and changing now, we see the Holy Spirit to reveal the Word.\u00a0\u00a0After all, through the Holy Spirit and the Word, all answers are there.\u00a0\u00a0All answers.\u00a0\u00a0To know that to be true we need to walk consistently and persistently in fellowship with Him.\u00a0\u00a0Of course we won\u2019t perfect that here, only Jesus did that.\u00a0\u00a0But He loves us and will teach and show us all that we need to know.\u00a0\u00a0And what about the rest?\u00a0\u00a0Don\u2019t worry about it! Ha!\u00a0\u00a0If we need to know, God is with us to guide us.\u00a0\u00a0That is part of living in faith.\u00a0\u00a0No worries, just faith in a very known God.\u00a0\u00a0Is our God good or is He good!\u00a0\u00a0Praise God!<\/p>\n
Psalm 150:6<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n
Micah 7:7<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0But as for me, I watch\u00a0in hope\u00a0for the\u00a0Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will Hear\u00a0me.<\/p>\n
Micah 6:8<\/b>\u00a0–\u00a0He has\u00a0shown you, Oh man, what\u00a0is\u00a0good; and what does the\u00a0Lord\u00a0require of you, but\u00a0to do justly, to love\u00a0mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.<\/p>\n
Numbers 6:24-26<\/b>\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0bless you and keep you; 25\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; 26\u00a0The\u00a0Lord\u00a0turn His face\u00a0toward you and give you peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
