The Light Daily Devotional – We Know Nothing
Focus: We Know Nothing
The word for today
What we don’t know is far beyond what we do know; therefore, we must always submit to the will of God in every situation of life to ensure we are on the safe side. We can never be as wise as the One who created and designed our destiny.
Scriptural Reference
“For we were born yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days on earth are a shadow.” — Job 8:9 (NKJV)
The greatest mistake a person can make is to proceed in life without acknowledging God and recognizing His presence and guidance in every domain of life. We owe God our very existence; we continue to live because He commands it and sustains us.
Our understanding is limited, and our perspective is often narrow. We are like shadows, temporary and fleeting, with a knowledge base that is but a fraction of the infinite wisdom possessed by God. Acknowledging this humbling truth should lead us to a posture of surrender and trust in God’s superior wisdom and plan.
Living without acknowledging God is like sailing a ship without a compass. You may have the most advanced vessel, but without direction, you are lost at sea. Similarly, in life, no matter how talented or knowledgeable we may be, without God’s guidance, we are bound to drift aimlessly. Every heartbeat, every breath is a testament to God’s sustaining power, and recognizing this is crucial for a life of purpose and fulfillment.
Aligning with God’s will does not mean our lives will be devoid of challenges, but it assures us that we are on the path designed by the Creator. His footprints are visible in every aspect of our lives, guiding us and providing the wisdom we lack. By submitting to His will, we tap into divine wisdom that far surpasses our own understanding, ensuring that we navigate life with a sense of purpose and direction.
Meditation: Are you acknowledging God’s infinite wisdom and guidance in every aspect of your life?
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to recognize the vastness of what I do not know and to submit to Your will in every situation. Grant me the humility to acknowledge Your superior wisdom and the grace to follow Your guidance. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Emphasis: Recognize the limitations of your knowledge and the infinite wisdom of God. Submit to His will and seek His guidance in every aspect of life for a purposeful and directed journey.
Have a Wisdom-filled Day!
