… for I am God, and there is no other … declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done … (Isaiah 46:9-10)

Daily reading: 2 Samuel 7

Things happen in life, like COVID-19, that we can’t get our heads around —no one knows what’s happening or how it happened. But nothing is surprising or confusing to God. He is omniscient—all-knowing. From His eternal vantage point, God sees everything: past, present and future. That’s why biblical prophecy is so accurate—He plans history with purpose. Centuries before Jesus was born, God said a virgin would give birth (Isaiah 7:14), and that He’d be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), live in Egypt (Hosea 11:1), and suffer greatly (Isaiah 53). All of it came true. Why? Because God not only knew but ordained it—so that His Son would bear our punishment. Jesus knew what awaited Him and still chose the cross—for us. That’s love. The God who never says, “I didn’t see that coming” planned salvation from the beginning. You can trust Him with your past, present and future. Nothing is hidden from Him. Nothing is beyond His reach.
