God Knows You
Dr RJ Sing
“To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.”
Even though God is great and omnipotent. He knows each one of us. He knows absolutely everything about us. He perceives our thoughts from afar, the Psalmist writes. He saw us even before we were born, and then He wrote all the days ordained for us in His book before any of them came to be. At first, I found the thought that God knows me so well rather disturbing.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it is indeed a very comforting thought! God knows you inside-out. When you find yourself in the midst of a crisis. He knows about it, even though it may sometimes feel as though He is not listening to your prayers. He promises to help you. God is aware of all your heartache and challenges in life. He even knows how many hairs are on your head.
Jesus says that not even a sparrow falls without Him being aware of it. And you are worth more to God than many sparrows! “But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows”. (Luke 12:7)
