God has the solution before you had the problem

      Life is full of challenges, uncertainties, and unexpected twists. At times, problems arise that seem overwhelming, leaving us questioning how we will ever overcome them. However, for those who believe in God’s sovereignty, there is a profound truth that provides comfort and hope: God has the solution before you even had the problem.

      This statement reflects the nature of God—His omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (all-powerful), and omnipresence (ever-present). It means that before you even faced a difficulty, God already had a way out, a lesson to be learned, and a purpose for the trial. we will explore this truth through biblical examples, real-life applications, and how we can develop unwavering trust in God’s plan.

1. Understanding God’s Omniscience: He Knows Everything

      One of the fundamental attributes of God is His omniscience. He knows everything—past, present, and future. This means that nothing takes Him by surprise. While we may be caught off guard by difficulties, God is never unprepared.

Biblical Proof of God’s Foreknowledge

1. Joseph’s Life (Genesis 37-50)

      Joseph, one of the sons of Jacob, faced immense hardships—his own brothers sold him into slavery, he was falsely accused of a crime, and he spent years in prison. From a human perspective, it seemed like his life was spiraling downward. However, God had already prepared a solution before the problem even arose. Joseph later became the second-in-command in Egypt, saving countless lives during a famine, including his own family.

● Genesis 50:20 - "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."

● This verse confirms that God had a plan long before Joseph’s troubles began.

2. Moses and the Red Sea (Exodus 14)

      The Israelites, after being freed from slavery in Egypt, found themselves trapped between Pharaoh’s advancing army and the Red Sea. It seemed like an impossible situation, but God already had the solution. He parted the Red Sea, allowing them to cross safely before destroying the Egyptian army.

● Exodus 14:14 - "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

● This story proves that God is never caught off guard; He already knew how He would deliver His people.

2. God’s Power to Provide Solutions

The Story of Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22)

      God tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Abraham obeyed, but before he could go through with it, God provided a ram as a substitute sacrifice. This event demonstrated that God had already arranged a solution before Abraham even knew he needed one.

● Genesis 22:14 - "So Abraham called that place 'The Lord Will Provide.' And to this day it is said, 'On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.'"

● God is Jehovah Jireh—The Lord Who Provides.

Jesus: The Ultimate Solution

      The greatest example of God providing a solution before a problem is Jesus Christ. Humanity was lost in sin, but before we even knew we needed a Savior, God had already planned redemption through Jesus.

● Revelation 13:8 - "The Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world."

● Before sin entered the world, God had already planned for salvation.

3. How This Truth Applies to Our Daily Lives

1. Trusting God in Difficult Times

      When we face hardships—whether financial struggles, health issues, broken relationships, or career setbacks—we must remember that God has already prepared a way through.

● Isaiah 41:10 - "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

● Even when we don’t see a way, God already has the answer.

2. Praying with Confidence

      Since God already knows the solution, we can pray with confidence, knowing that He hears us and is working on our behalf.

● Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

3. Walking in Faith, Not Fear

      Many times, we hesitate to take steps of faith because we fear the unknown. However, if we truly believe that God has the solution before we even face the problem, we can move forward boldly.

● 2 Corinthians 5:7 - "For we walk by faith, not by sight."

4. Testimonies of God’s Faithfulness

       There are countless stories, both biblical and modern, of how God provided solutions before people even knew they had problems.

Modern-Day Example: A Financial Breakthrough

      A Christian family was struggling financially. They had bills due and no money to pay them. They prayed for provision. A few days before their deadline, they unexpectedly received a check from an overpaid account—money they didn’t even know was theirs. The problem was already solved before they even prayed.

Healing and Deliverance

      A woman diagnosed with a serious illness prayed for healing. She later discovered that her doctor had already scheduled her for an experimental treatment that turned out to be successful. God had the solution before she even knew she was sick.

5. How to Strengthen Your Faith in God’s Plan

1. Read and Meditate on God’s Word

      The more we read the Bible, the more we understand that God has always been faithful to His people.

● Romans 10:17 - "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

2. Remember Past Victories

      When facing new problems, reflect on how God has helped you in the past.

● Psalm 77:11 - "I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago."

3. Surround Yourself with Faithful Believers

      Encouragement from other Christians can strengthen our trust in God’s solutions.

● Hebrews 10:25 - "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another."

4. Practice Gratitude

      Even before you see the solution, thank God for it in advance.

● Philippians 4:6 - "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

God is Always in Control

      No matter what you are facing today, remember that God already has the solution. Whether it’s a small inconvenience or a life-changing crisis, God is not surprised by your situation. He is sovereign, and His plans are always for your good.

Key Takeaways:

● God’s omniscience means He knows every problem before it happens.
