He Trusted the Father When He Didn't Know the Answer

Bill Perkins

The Trust He Walked In

Jesus didn't cling to divine privilege.
He let go.
He didn't pretend to be human — He became human.


And in doing so,
He chose not to know everything.
Not because He lacked power,
but because He trusted the Father
more than He trusted answers.


His unknowing wasn't weakness.
It was worship.

Reflection Question

Where am I still trying to solve
what Jesus invites me to surrender —
and how might trust look
more like letting go
than figuring out?

What This Means to Me

I treat uncertainty like a threat.
I scramble for clarity, control, resolution.
But Jesus shows me another way:
to rest in the Father's knowing
when mine runs out.

Prayer

Jesus, You didn't demand answers.
You trusted the Father.
Teach me to do the same.
Where I grasp for certainty,
give me peace.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
