God Knows Everything

Scripture Reading: Psalm 139

Focus Verse: Psalm 139:1-2  “O Lord, you have searched me and known me!  You know when I sit down and when I rise up, you discern my thoughts from afar.”

It’s comforting to know that God knows everything about us as David has shown us in Psalm 139.  Maybe it’s not so comforting to know that God even knows when you and I have sinned.  God even knows what sin we are going to commit in the future.  But it’s comforting to know He loves us anyway, and wants us to be more like His Son Jesus.

There is nothing that God does not know.  Nothing escapes the knowledge of God.  He created billions and trillions of stars in the universe.  The Bible tells us that God “counts the stars” and calls each one by name  Psalm 147:4.  God has created everything for a purpose.  Could it be that God made the universe so big so that we would know that God is big?  God made you for a purpose.  God made you so that you would glorify Him.

Romans 11:33 says, “Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand His decisions and His ways!”  What do you do when things are not going your way.  Sometimes I get upset when things don’t go the way I planned.  Let’s remember God is in control of everything.  Could it be that God allows something to not go our way so that something worse would not happen to us?  When the attacks happened in America in 2001 I remember hearing stories of some people being late to go to work that day.  If they had been on time for work they would have been in the twin tower buildings and would have been killed when they collapsed.  God caused them to be late for a reason, to save their lives.

Let’s live our lives today is such a way that we would not be embarrassed for God to know what we are doing or thinking so that we can bring Him honor.
