MARRIED 42YRS. TO MY HUSBAND, MOTHER OF 3, GRANDMOTHER OF 7, GREAT-GRANDMOTHER OF 3, ...I LOVE GOD BECAUSE HE IS MY ALL AND ALL, WITHOUT GOD IN MY LIFE, I KNOW THAT I AM NOTHING....
It's Better Not To Know Better
Steven Furtick
My youngest son Graham lets me throw him up in the air so high that he almost goes through the ceiling. He loves it. He just turned 1 about a month ago.
His older brother Elijah used to let me do the same thing. He's 3 now, and he doesn't like it so much any more. It scares him. Didn't used to scare him, but my wife Holly says now that he's more aware of his surroundings, being thrown in the air freaks him out. I guess that's understandable.
Sometimes our awareness of our surroundings can take the naiveté out of our faith in God. When I first came to Christ, it was like I was letting Him throw me up in the air as high as He could (or would, more like it), and it never crossed my mind that this was dangerous.
It never crossed my mind that He might drop me.
If He prompted me to speak out for Him, I spoke up. If He urged me to give something to Him, I gave. If He wanted me to give up something for Him, I gave it up.
Then came mortgage payments, adult responsibilities and the like. Now I'm more aware of my surroundings. And it's a little more unnerving to get thrown up in the air.
It didn't frighten me at all when I didn't know any better...and sometimes I think it's better not to know any better. As a child of God, and even more so as a leader, I don't ever want to become so aware of my surroundings that I stop innately trusting God because it's dangerous.
Not that we should stay in a state of perpetual childhood. It's good to grow up, to exercise wisdom, and to analyze the risks.
But when it comes time to jump, never let your awareness of your surroundings be the final factor when deciding how high to go and how much to trust.
As you finish this year strong, find confidence in the strength of the one who caught you the last time, and who is positioned to catch you again.
“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close” (Revelation 3:8
God is ready to present you with new opportunities. He wants to open new doors before you. It doesn’t matter what’s happening in the world around you, in the economy, the housing industry, or with job reports; God’s Word still remains true. He rewards the people who seek after Him. He’s not the least bit concerned about how He’s going to supply your needs. There is no recession in heaven. He has His eye on you, and He still opens doors that no one can shut! In an instant, He can bring the right people into your life, the right opportunities, and the right resources to take you to a new level.
But in order to go to a higher level, you have to have a higher way of thinking. You can’t stay focused on what’s happening in the natural nor allow worry and fear to fill your thoughts. Remember, God’s ways are higher than our ways. He is working on your behalf behind the scenes in the supernatural realm. Choose to keep an attitude of faith and expectancy. As you do, you’ll move forward through the open doors of blessing God has prepared for you.

“Offer to God thanksgiving, and pray your vows to the Most High” - Psalm 50:14
Father, we give thanks this day for all the blessings you have given to us, your children. We thank you for our families, friends, for providing for our every need, everyday - all good gifts come from you.
We thank you during the difficult times, too. Even in the mist our struggles we are joyful because you are here with us. You are near to us when our hearts are broken. You are our strength and our refuge and your grace is sufficient to see us through every trial.
Most of all we thank you for sending your Son to die on the cross for our sins. We are continually amazed that you would go through so much just so you would be able to call us “your children”.
You are the great Lord Of Hosts and we are just simple people. How could we ever repay you for the kindness you’ve shown us? We never could. We have only one thing we can offer you — our heart-filled thanks.
Beloved, do not be surprised when unexpected avenues open the way to answered prayer and spiritual growth. I am moving in ways that seem to be mysterious to you but will ultimately perfect and bring to completion those things that concern you. Refuse to give up at this crucial time; keep pressing on. Clarity will come when you can look back and see that My ways are higher than your ways. Trust Me to have your best interests at heart, says the Lord.
Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
