Pastor Danae's Thoughts

This week's inspiration show is from a long time ago, I'm talking Black and White TV, FATHER KNOWS BEST! One Tuesday morning several months ago, we had just finished with the prayer meeting at church and someone said "FATHER KNOWS BEST" me and my Dad both said at nearly the same time "there's a sermon in that", but I've been pondering on it ever since, and now that Father's Day is upon us, I want to take a moment to reflect not only on my earthly Father, who I must say is a wonderful man, but my Spiritual Father, God Himself. The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." That to me sounds like FATHER KNOWS BEST! We can make plans, schedules, organize our agenda, but if it's OUR ideas, and not GOD'S, it definately isn't going to end well. Because God's thoughts are not ours and His ways are much higher. We only see a small pixel, we see the here and now, but He sees the whole picture, He sees from beginning to end, He sees eternity. For those of us that know who God is, we already know that FATHER KNOWS BEST! It's that we get so consumed with the here and the now that we forget there is God who knows all and sees all. We need to remember that, and we need to trust Him.
In Matthew chapter 7 the Word tells us "Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" Whatever you are going through, whatever opposition you are facing, whatever is standing in your way, remember FATHER KNOWS BEST!
