Yesterday I wrote about God knows our unknowns but do we really know God’s unknowns?
God truly is a mystery whether we believe in Him or not. His decisions are sovereign even when we don’t like them. Just think about some of our own choices in life being stubborn, disobedient, or tried to please our parents, teachers, or coaches in every way. ‘Father knows best’ or ‘we shall see’ were phrases we heard growing up. Wisdom truly does come with age.
“Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways! For who can know the Lord ’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice?
Romans 11:33-34 NLT
The man Job who served the Lord faithfully in the Old Testament truly wrestled with God as with Joseph who was thrown in prison. Daniel sent to the lions den for being loyal to God.
We can argue and try to justify Gods actions and say, “I don’t deserve this” yet your in this trial and facing tribulation.
We must remember God will not be mocked! Remember how God was scoffed at and ridiculed when Noah began building the Ark? Noah was laughed at and was the talk of the town. God warned everybody about the coming judgment and it seemed so ridiculous. The earth will never flood! Haha! Life is Good and the economy is rolling! America is too powerful to fall. Really? We are drifting into unknown territorities of fear, uncertainty, indecisiveness, corruption, and arrogance, etc. ( This is not a political comment).
“By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith”.
Hebrews 11:7 NIV
Jesus God son has warned us to be ready for His return. “Nobody knows the day or the hour…”. The key is to be watching and ready at all times.
I know you can laugh at this post or make a sassy joke but the reality is God’s Unknown can be known if we trust Him and take him at His word.
A little strong today but something to think and to pray about today my friend.

Greetings! My name is Andy Provitola and I live in New England on the south shore between Boston and the beautiful Cape Cod region.
The purpose of my blogging and writing is to encourage you in your journey here on planet earth. Life is full of pressing issues and problems and my desire is to discover a place for peace, hope, healing, and contentment. I am a follower of Jesus Christ – God’s one and only Son of God and discovered these truths along my own personal journey.
Having discovered a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ does not mean I have to be religious to attain the rewards of heaven. The fact is God provides grace for us and accepts us as we are in His image. In other words, we cannot attain heaven or life eternal on our own, but by God’s loving grace and no merit of our own.
My goal is to continue to find a balance of life from a spiritual and practical perspective with a purpose to please and glorify God in all that I do because of His ‘Gift of Grace’.
God is not transcendent and so far away that he is out of reach with humanity. God desires that His presence lives within us and not just in the galaxies and the universe. Experiencing the unconditional love of God has been so rewarding and while discovering the truth and purpose for my life. Moving forward in this life is not a sprint, but a marathon when it comes to this race here on earth.
I am blogging because I find it is a good way to connect in a much more effective and efficient way when it comes to communicating and interacting with with people that I do not know. Blogging and writing challenges me and also stretches me specifically in my thoughts, my mind, my emotions, and my spiritual life to live a vertical relation with God and a horizontal relationship with others.
There will be a variety of topics and subjects to address including youth, young adults, family, singles, seniors, relationships, etc. Some of the topics will include God’s creation and power, depression, loneliness, suicide, hope, healing, setbacks, financial matters, business, stress, anxiety, care, encouragement, and so much more
I would like to connect with all walks of life, ethnicity, culturally, other religions, socio-economics, and more
I am currently writing a book and several memoirs about my own life and journey . The journey begins at a young age growing up in Malden, Massachusetts, specifically Maplewood Square to where I am today. I became paralyzed from the waist down as a senior in high school and I share how my life changed for the better!
“But I do not consider my life as something of value or dear to me, so that I may [with joy] finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus. To testify faithfully of the good news of God’s [precious undeserved] grace [which makes us free of guilt of sin and grants us eternal life]. Acts 20:24 Amplified Version
