GOD KNOWS YOU INTIMATELY

Psalm 139:1-2

O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

Chances are good as you rush through a typically hectic week you sometimes feel misunderstood. A co-worker gives you a strange look. A family member overreacts to an innocent remark.

Chances are also good that some days you don’t even understand yourself. “Why did I do that?” you sigh. Or “What in the world made me say that?”

Well, here’s a bit of comfort: God understands you completely. He made you, and he knows what makes you tick. Your thoughts, your whereabouts, your needs—God sees it all.

Next time you—or others—are having trouble getting a handle on you, turn to the one with perfect knowledge and insight. Rest in the knowledge of his absolute acceptance. 

GOD’S PROMISE TO ME:

• I see your heart.

• I know your thoughts and actions—everything about you.

MY PRAYER TO GOD:

Heavenly Father, you have examined my heart. You see me as I truly am—my failings and flaws, as well as my successes. Thank you for accepting me and for choosing to love and care for me. Help me to rest in your love. I want to follow your guidance. Amen.
