Why Didn’t I Know This Earlier?

“But when the fulness of the time was come” (Galatians 4:4 KJV). It is no surprise to us that we do not know everything. For that reason, we do not have the ability to understand anything but the truth we have come to understand at this moment. “I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it” (1Corinthians 3:2). Our stewardship is to the truth God places before us today, for we do not know what God plans for tomorrow. “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14). Since we have been given our present body of understanding, we are responsible to attempt to share it with others. “Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old” (Matthew 13:52). And, whether they receive it or not, is the responsibility of the Spirit of God, who “will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8). Father, bless Your people with a peace that passes understanding concerning our role in handling the truth given to us. Cause us to be as You are, a blessing to those we meet. And, if they cannot be blessed, may they know that a prophet has been among them. Lord Jesus, return quickly. In Jesus’ precious name, we ask it. Amen.
