You can’t suprise God.

God is not startled by our circumstances, although we may be.  He is not caught off guard when your car breaks down or you lose your job, even though you didn’t see it coming. He doesn’t get nervous when we get sick or are in an accident, but we do.  In fact, nothing that happens comes as a surprise to God.  He does not have a back up plan in case you screwed up. He already had the right plan together to begin with!  He does not have to come up with additional resources because things did not go as planned, He already had in mind what you needed before you even asked.  Nothing comes as a surprise to God.  It is so amazing that he sees us where we are at today and He knows where we will be tomorrow.  Although God sees us in our strongest moments and he sees us in our weakest moments He still decided to love and provided for us.   Romans 5:8“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Our righteousness is not based on our works but by our faith. (Eph 2:9) Its by faith that we can believe God in our circumstance for whatever provision we need.

By Worrying over our circumstances its like we are saying, “I don’t need your provisions God, I can take care of this on my own.”  We are depending on our own efforts and resources and taking the place of God in our lives, and in a way possibly becoming our own god because we believe more in our own abilities than in His.

One definition for worry is… to move with effort

How many times do we exhaust ourselves from trying to obtain our healing or forgiveness or prosperity or answers to prayer through moving in our own efforts?  (John 6:29) “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”  Our only work is to believe.  We believe in the work He has already done though Jesus Christ on the cross.  Could it really be that simple?
