Title: “Calm in the Chaos: Trusting the God Who Knows It All”

Text: Hebrews 4:13 “He knows about everyone, everywhere. Everything about us is bare and wide open to the all-seeing eyes of our living God; nothing can be hidden from him to whom we must explain all that we have done. LB

Introduction:

God’s presence does not change with the headlines. He is not taken by surprise by world events or personal trials. While governments and political forces shift power from one hand to another, God holds all things in His unwavering grip.

I. What are God’s attributes? (Attributes belonging to God alone)

To understand that God is never surprised we must first understand who God is and we do that by knowing His attributes.

I. What are God’s attributes? (Attributes belonging to God alone)

* Self-Existent (Aseity) – God depends on nothing and no one for His existence. Aseity is a theological term that refers to God’s self-existence and self-sufficiency.

*Aseity means that God exists from Himself and by Himself. He does not depend on anything or anyone for His existence, power, or life. God is the uncaused cause—eternal, independent, and complete in Himself.

Exodus 3:14

* Eternal – God has no beginning or end

Psalm 90:2

* Immutable (Unchanging) – God does not change in His nature or promises

Malachi 3:6

* Omnipresent – God is present everywhere at all times

Psalm 139:7–10

* Omniscient – God knows all things past, present, and future

Psalm 147:5

* Omnipotent – God is all-powerful

Jeremiah 32:17

Here are four reasons why we know God is never surprised, each rooted in Scripture and His character:

1. God is Omniscient (All-Knowing)

God knows everything—past, present, and future. Nothing escapes His awareness. Psalm 139:4 says, “Before a word is on my tongue, you, Lord, know it completely.” Because He knows all things, nothing in our lives catches Him off guard.

2. God is Sovereign (In Control of Everything)

God rules over all creation and orchestrates events according to His will. Proverbs 16:9 reminds us, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.” Even when situations seem chaotic to us, God is fully aware and directing them for His purposes.

3. God Sees the End from the Beginning

God’s knowledge is not limited by time. Isaiah 46:10 declares, “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.” Because He sees the future, nothing in our lives is a surprise to Him.

4. God Understands Human Hearts Fully

God knows our thoughts, motives, and weaknesses. Hebrews 4:13 says, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account

II. How Can We Trust God with Our Future?

We can trust God because His character, promises, and actions are perfect and unchanging. Trusting Him doesn’t mean life will always be easy, but it means we can rely on His wisdom, love, and sovereignty.

Here are some biblical reasons and practical ways we can trust God:

1. God Is Faithful and Unchanging

God always keeps His promises. He does not lie or change His mind.

• Scripture: “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act?” (Numbers 23:19)

Because God is faithful, we can trust Him to be consistent and reliable in every situation.

2. God Knows All Things (Omniscient)

God sees the past, present, and future. He knows what we need and what challenges we will face.

• Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

We can trust God even when life is confusing, because He sees the bigger picture and guides us wisely.

3. God Loves and Works for Our Good

God is loving and always desires what is best for His children. He can bring good even from difficult circumstances.

• Scripture: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans

III. Here are Five promises God Makes to Us Every Day ( Based on Scripture, that give Christians confidence and hope)

1. God Promises His Presence

God assures us that we are never alone. He is always with us, even in the darkest moments.

• Scripture: “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

2. God Promises Peace

Even in chaos or anxiety, God offers His peace that surpasses understanding.
