Many people consider Albert Einstein to be one of the smartest people in history. The beginnings of Einstein’s theory of relativity came from an essay he wrote at age 16. By 26, Einstein had published five major research papers in a German journal and received a doctorate for one. Because of his counsel, the U.S. government established the Manhattan Project, which developed the first two atomic bombs. Overall, Einstein’s contributions have had both a positive and negative impact on America today.

Even though the world does not know you, I know you. John 17:25

From the world’s perspective, a person’s great knowledge often can lead to wealth, fame and power. However, that doesn’t begin to compare to the Creator of the universe! God not only knows everything, but is the source of all knowledge. In today’s verse, Jesus’ prayer for His followers confirms that while the world doesn’t know the Father, the Son does. And because you know the Son, access to His vast knowledge is yours as well.

God knows your past, present and future. You can trust Him because He wants the best for you. Spend time talking to God and reading His Word. Ask Him to reveal His plans for you each day. Pray also that America and its leaders truly seek God’s knowledge for their daily decisions.
