This verse pops into my head sometimes when I’m busy doing “important” things and don’t feel like I have time to study my Bible that day. It helps me readjust my priorities. I think God is chuckling about my important things a little because He knows what is really important. He can see the big picture. He reminds me in those moments that He loves me. I don’t need to worry and stress because His will can’t be thwarted. If He wants me to accomplish some particular thing, He can stretch out time if necessary. He made the sun move backwards for King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:11. God wants me to take time for Him as my first priority. If I prioritize God and His will, everything that is really important will fall into place as He intends. If I don’t, today’s verse reminds me that anything I do apart from His will is wasted effort.
Dear God,
Thank you for the reminder that you are all-knowing and all-powerful. My striving is for naught if it’s not part of your plan. Help me to seek you in all things and to hear your voice guiding me in the right direction. Thank you for the refreshment I always find when I take time to meditate on you and your word.
