God only knows right

A colleague prayed this the other day to God: “You only know right” and it struck me as something profound. God is good and so he only knows what is good and right. Evil is so far from who he is.

My colleague went further and talked about how since God only knows right and is all powerful he could fix all the problems the world in an instant. But his choice is to know us, to have a relationship with us, made possible through Jesus, and then to use us in his plan to accomplish what is good and right.

Huh.

I reflected on that for my life, my work and my church, and thought that if God chooses to know people and work through them, that I should act similarly – to get to know people and work together with them for what is right.
