“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” — Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV)
When we face life’s challenges, we often conclude that God is unaware of what we are going through or that He cannot see the magnitude of our struggles. But is this really true? Is God oblivious to our pain? Absolutely not. God is fully aware of everything we experience. If He knows the number of hairs on our heads, then He surely knows the details of our lives and the difficulties we face.
However, while God knows what we are going through, this does not remove our responsibility to act. We must play our part to see His power manifest in our lives. Until we take action, nothing will change. God expects us to fight the good fight of faith. Faith is the key to accessing His grace and power. Instead of succumbing to despair or self-pity, choose to stand firm, wield God’s word, and persist in prayer. When you do, you will overcome every limitation and prevail.
Consider the story of Esther, Mordecai, and the Jewish people. When a threat arose to eliminate them, God was aware of their plight but did not intervene immediately. It wasn’t until they fasted and prayed that God’s power was unleashed, leading to their victory (see Esther 3–7).
Beloved, whatever you may be facing right now, remember that God sees and knows your situation. He desires to demonstrate His power on your behalf, but it requires your faith. Faith, not emotions or complaints, is what moves God and activates His power. Be encouraged today to rise up, put your faith to work, and do what is needed. Hallelujah!
