Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By Mark Waldrop

Scripture:
Ephesians 2:19
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God.”

As believers, we often face challenges that test our faith. We may feel lost or uncertain about our path in life, wondering if we're truly understood or if we belong. Yet, in moments like these, we must remind ourselves that we are no longer strangers, no longer foreigners in a distant land. We are members of God’s household—a family chosen and loved by Him.

When we accept Christ, we step into a family where our Father knows us intimately and perfectly. He sees the full picture of our lives, both the past and the future. Even when our circumstances seem confusing or hard to navigate, we can trust that our Father knows what is best for us. His wisdom surpasses our understanding, and His plans are always good.

Like a loving parent, God knows our strengths and weaknesses. He knows the trials we face and the growth we need. And just as a parent disciplines out of love and leads out of care, our Father guides us in ways that may not always make sense at the moment but are designed for our ultimate good.

No matter what you're going through today, rest in the assurance that you belong to God's household. You are His child, part of a heavenly family where you are known and loved. Trust that He knows best, and let His wisdom and care guide you through every season of life.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for welcoming me into Your family. Help me to trust in Your wisdom, especially when I do not understand the way forward. I believe that You know what’s best for me and that Your love will guide me through all things. Amen.
