LOVE WORTH FINDING 18TH FEBRUARY 2025 TUESDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: Looking at Life Through a Knothole
“. . . just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.” – Ephesians 1:4-5
PONDER THIS
Scripture talks about God having foreknowledge, but sometimes we get confused about that idea because we’re looking at it from a human vantage point. Can you imagine a little boy watching a parade through a knothole? He can’t get over the fence to see the parade, so he watches the parade pass from this limited perspective. But then suppose somebody takes the little guy and says, “Come, son, into my office building up here, and we’ll look over the wall from ten stories.” The little guy can see the parade as it’s forming down here. He can see it as it’s dispersing down here, and he can see everything in between because he has a different vantage point.

We are limited. We’re looking at life through a knothole. Do you understand that? The events pass by, and we experience the waves of emotions as they occur. But God sees it all. God inhabits eternity. God sees the beginning, the middle, and the end. God sees it all at one time.
The reason we often get confused is we try to put God in a box. God is God. We can only see how He works by looking through the knothole. We don’t see as He does, from eternity.
- Have you recognized you have a limited perspective compared with God?
- How does God’s understanding of eternity help you trust Him? What are some things you don’t understand about God that you need to surrender to Him?
PRACTICE THIS
Talk to a mentor or trusted friend about the questions you have about God and ask him or her to pray with you for greater trust in Him.
