Monday Thought -- December 3, 2012


Good Morning Friends,

God knows you.  He knows you better than anyone.   He knows you even better than you know yourself.

“O LORD, you have searched me 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 know it completely, O LORD.  You hem me in -- behind and before; you have laid 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.” (Psalm 139:1-13)

God knows you.  And still He loves you!

You don’t have to wear a mask with God.  He already knows what you are like even in the deepest places of your spirit.  You don’t have to try to hide anything from Him.  It would be a fruitless effort, anyway.

God knows you.  And still He loves you!

His, by Grace,

Steve
