That idea would make most of us feel uncomfortable, becausewith more knowledge comes more power. Honestly, there havebeen too many situations where human leaders have ended upabusing the growing knowledge and power they obtained.But what if someone with ultimate knowledge also cared for youdeeply? Let’s call that person all caring. Now it starts to be comforting to us to think of such a person—someone who not only knows itall but also cares for us with that unlimited knowledge. Let’s face it:Life is full of unknowns, so a person like that could be of great help.God is never limited in His knowledge. Let that sink in. Thepast, the present, and the future are fully clear to Him, and Heknows how they work together. That is “God status” for sure!His knowledge is the polar opposite of the extremely limitedknowledge we have. But He is not only all knowing; He is alsoall caring. In Matthew 10, we hear Jesus breaking downa bleak picture of the chaotic circumstances that His followers will live in. Poverty, hate, political injustice, familybetrayal, and even martyrdom are just a few experiences in the tough list of hard times they will face. Yet, inMatthew 10:28-31, we can see how God’s unlimitedknowledge and all-caring nature combine to give usa solid reason to trust in Him. Be secure in the truththat He not only knows every chaotic detail ofyour life but also values you deeply and can betrusted to carry you through the chaos ofthe unknowns.FPO
