“You Never Know”, how many times do we use that phrase? It is used so often by so many people for various reasons. I have been known to say it myself and you likely clicked on because you have used the phrase recently and perhaps, even today. Most of the time when we use that phrase we do so in an attempt not hold ourself to something or a situation we find ourself in. One example that comes to mind is, “Do you really think the situation can get any worse?”...followed by a “You never know.” We say that because there is a bit of fear or worry that it could get worse but we say that to ease our minds.
God will only clue us in on so much but we should remember that what we may never know, he already knows. Unfortunately, we are sometimes our own worst critic and count ourselves out too often. I am thankful for the truth in 1 John 3:20 (nasb) “We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things.” God knows all things. Just rest in that today and the next time you admit that “You Never Know.”
