What are you an expert on?

tell em something you know a lot about- give me an example.

God is an Expert on Everything

God fully knows himself and all things actual and possible in one simple and eternal act.

Wayne Grudem

The definition also says that God knows “all things actual and possible.” This means all things that exist, all things that happen, and all things that might happen - Wayne Grudem

Psalm 105 Talks about the all the plans God had in the Torah and how he had made a way for it. that none of these events were a happy coincidence. instead God knew what would happen and allowed his people to be a part of it.

Show how Jesus knows a lot about us.

Grief and Compassion:

Luke 19:41 “But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.”

Sympathy and Sorrow:

John 11:33–35 “When Jesus saw her weeping and saw the other people wailing with her, a deep anger welled up within him, and he was deeply troubled. “Where have you put him?” he asked them. They told him, “Lord, come and see.” Then Jesus wept.”

Anguish and Agony:

Matthew 26:37–38 “He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, James and John, and he became anguished and distressed. He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.””

Compassion for the Crowds:

Matthew 9:36 “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”

Frustration and Sorrow for Unbelief:

Mark 9:19 “Jesus said to them, “You faithless people! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.””

Desire for Fellowship and Support:

Mark 14:32–34 “They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, “Sit here while I go and pray.” He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he became deeply troubled and distressed. He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.””

Righteous Anger:

Mark 11:15–17 “When they arrived back in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people buying and selling animals for sacrifices. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves, and he stopped everyone from using the Temple as a marketplace. He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.””

Jesus has lived it too

when we look at all the emotions that We face that we feel. God already knows what it means to have experienced it. Every emotion we have been given God has felt. The difference between the two is what our response has been to those emotions.

But what can be comforting is the reality that we mentioned above. God sees it all all at once.

- He sees the cause of your anxiousness.

- He sees you when you are anxious

- He sees the outcome and will help you get to that stage where you can overcome that moment.

We just have to lean in and trust God. because our emotions of confusion, anxiety, anger, fear, worry. all of these things are stemming from the lack of trust in people, places or things. But if we put our trust in God we know that he has a handle on everything. everything. everything.
