The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.—Deuteronomy 29:29 (NIV)
Infinite and All-knowing
God,
Don’t ever let me forget that in order to please You, I must walk by faith and not by sight—and demonstrate my faith by acting in obedience to that which You have taught me through Your Word.
In Your infinite wisdom
You have chosen to make me finite in my ability to comprehend and understand
the wonders of all that You are and of all that You have created—that I might
not depend on my own understanding, but that my dependence might be upon You.
So, help me not to get
caught up in futile attempts to try to understand things that I was never
intended to fully understand in this life—things that will only be revealed
when You take me home to be forever with You there.
Don’t allow me to become
so concerned with how You will take care of me in the future, that I become negligent
of my responsibilities to live one day at a time and enjoy the blessings of
obedience in this moment.
Help me to understand that
even though You have not revealed everything there is to know, You have shown
me enough truth that my only response should be obedience—from a humble and
submitted spirit.
Remind me that any
disobedience in me is an act of my own rebellious will—and is not because I
lack the knowledge I need to obey.
Help me to rest in the
assurance that I serve an infinite and all-knowing God who loves and wants me—a
God who is sovereign over all His creation—who has revealed all the truth that
I will ever need in order to be saved by faith and to walk in obedience to Him.
Don’t ever let me forget that in order to please You, I must walk by faith and not by sight—and demonstrate my faith by acting in obedience to that which You have taught me through Your Word.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
