With billions of people on the planet, does God really know who you are and what you are about?
That seems like a tall task, even for an all-powerful, all-knowing God. But it's true. God does know you. He always has.
Long before you were born God knew everything, far beyond what you know about yourself. Nothing is hidden, nothing unknown.
Psalm 139 explains it all beautifully. It's straight forward and easy to understand. When you read these verses, think about God's loving grace and how He desires to have a relationship with you, to care for you and be your best friend. Take your time and soak it all in.
Psalm 139
You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand— when I awake, I am still with you. If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty! They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you? I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
When we turn away from God, we want to hide. That's what Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden after they ate the fruit that God had forbidden them from taking. Of course they couldn't hide.
God sees everything, so trying to hide is a silly waste of time when you think about it.
God created us and knows all of our limitations, the essence of being in the human condition. That is why God sent His own Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to carry our sin load and pay the penalty on the cross.
Read Psalm 139 again. This time, think about the Messiah coming to rescue you. Turn to God, to Jesus our Messia. His name in Hebrew is pronounced Yeshua and means "the Lord saves." Give him your burdens. He has paid for your ransom. Let Him in and let Him lead.
