No eye has seen, no ear has known, The wonders God calls His own. Beyond the reach of mortal mind, A treasure eternal, vast, divine.
The world may dream of wealth and fame, But heaven’s glory outshines the same. For those who love Him, pure and true, God’s prepared a life brand new.
And yet His Spirit makes it clear, Reveals the truth while we are here. The deep things hidden, now made known, Through Christ, the Word, the Cornerstone.
So live with faith, be bold, be strong, For in His grace, you can’t go wrong. With heaven’s promise as your home, For God — go big, or never roam.
1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
When shadows fall and trials rise, When questions linger, cloud the skies, God whispers softly, “Child, be still, Each step is guided by My will.”
Though burdens press and roads seem long, His purpose weaves a brighter song. What seems like loss, what feels untrue, He’s shaping good in all we do.
For those who love Him, hearts made sure, His promises are strong, secure. Each moment fits His grand design, A work of love, both yours and mine.
So walk in faith, lift up your eyes, His plan is perfect, strong, and wise. For all things work, both dark and bright, Together for good in His holy light.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Hope in the Lord, your strength will renew, Each trial endured, He carries you through. On eagle’s wings, you’ll rise above, Lifted by mercy, sustained by His love.
You’ll run the race and never tire, Fueled by His Spirit, set aflame with fire. You’ll walk each step, steadfast and true, For God is your strength in all that you do.

Isa 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
God gave me a pen in hand and words in my heart, A gentle reminder of His love from the start. Each line that I write is a prayer taking flight, A whisper of grace in the stillness of night.
I am humbled by the blessings He has sent, Each moment a treasure, a gift Heaven-lent. If my words can bring comfort, or lift up a friend, Then I’ll use this sweet blessing till life’s journey end.
Our Father Knows Best Daily Devotional: By Mark Waldrop
Scripture: Col 1:16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Reflection: These verses from Colossians remind us of the absolute sovereignty and supremacy of Christ. Everything in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, was created by Him and for Him. This includes all powers and authorities, emphasizing that nothing exists outside of His creative power and purpose.
Our Father knows best because He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Understanding that Christ is before all things and that in Him all things hold together gives us profound comfort and assurance. When life feels chaotic or uncertain, we can find peace in knowing that Christ holds everything together. His wisdom, power, and love are beyond our comprehension, yet they are the foundation upon which all creation rests.
Meditation: Reflect on the vastness of God's creation and His supreme authority over all things. Consider how this truth affects your perspective on the challenges and uncertainties in your life. How can acknowledging Christ's preeminence and sustaining power bring you peace and confidence?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for creating all things through and for Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help me to remember that You are sovereign over every aspect of my life and that in You, all things hold together. When I face difficulties or uncertainties, remind me of Your supreme power and sustaining grace. Fill my heart with peace and confidence, knowing that You are in control. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Share a word of encouragement with someone, reminding them of Christ’s supremacy and how He holds all things together.
Closing Thought: Our Father knows best. He is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, holding everything together by His power and love. Trust in His supreme authority and find peace in His unchanging presence.
May this devotional help you rest in the knowledge of Christ's preeminence and His constant, sustaining power in your life.
You spend your wealth to keep your health, Chasing life, preserving self. Doctors, cures, and fleeting days, Gold slips through in countless ways.
Then comes a time when health is spent, And toward your wealth your heart is bent. You trade your strength for gain in vain, Yet neither can your soul sustain.
For wealth will fade, and health will go, A truth that every heart must know. But treasures stored where moths can’t reach, Are found in Christ, who longs to teach.
So guard your life with wisdom true, Both wealth and health God gave to you. But seek first Him, the Giver of breath, The only One who conquers death.
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
For God’s Honor and Glory Mark C. Waldrop
Words from Bruce Braun K6SFG The Bible Fellowship Net
“We spend our health to gain wealth, and then spend our wealth to regain our health.”
Follow no man, their steps may fall, Their voices may wander, their wisdom be small. Though promises shine, they soon decay, Only Jesus Christ knows the way.
Leaders may falter, the crowd may divide, But Christ walks steady, forever our guide. His truth is light that will never sway, Only Jesus Christ knows the way.
So fix your eyes on the cross above, The path is narrow, but paved with love. Through every storm, both night and day, Only Jesus Christ knows the way.
Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
