Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By Mark Waldrop 

Mark 4:11 – He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables.”

Jesus often spoke in parables, stories with deeper meaning, to reveal the truths of the Kingdom of God. For those who had faith and sought understanding, these parables opened up the mysteries of God’s ways. But for those who remained distant or uninterested, the meaning remained hidden.

As followers of Christ, we are blessed to receive the secrets of God’s Kingdom. He has given us His Spirit to guide us into understanding His will and purpose. We don’t have to remain on the outside, confused by the world’s noise and distractions. Through prayer, reflection, and studying His Word, we can discover the richness of His truth.

Our Father knows best. Even when the world seems unclear or difficult to understand, He has already given us the key to unlock the wisdom of His Kingdom. We just need to seek Him earnestly, trust in His timing, and lean into the deeper meaning of His Word.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for revealing the secrets of Your Kingdom to me. Help me to continually seek Your wisdom and understanding, so that I may live according to Your will. Open my heart to the deeper truths You have for me and let me grow in faith and knowledge of You. Amen.
