it's true
was reading psalm 139 yesterday.v1-4 says:
"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
You search out my path and my lying down
And are acquainted with all my ways
Even before a word is on my tongue
Behold, O LORD, you know it altogether"
experienced the reality of this psalm and a song today.
God knows everything.
what a scary yet comforting thought.
God knows when we think we're better than others,
He knows when we judge others,
He knows how selfish we are,
He knows how we try to use methods to gain praise from others,
He knows that we sometimes love out of selfish reasons,
He knows when we compromise our faith,
He knows when we get jealous of others,
He knows when we covet.
He knows. He really does.
yet, knowing these, He still willingly gave us His Son. That is LOVE.
God knows exactly when we're feeling tired,
He knows when we need encouragement,
He knows the moments when we feel like everything is piling up on us,
He knows when our heart rejoices,
He knows when our heart rains,
He knows when we cover up our pain with a smile on our face,
He knows when we are lonely,
He knows when we need to feel loved,
He knows when we are afraid,
He knows when we feel like giving up.
He knows. He really does.
the creator. who loves tiny little us. God-BIG. us-small.
He loves us this much to know our every thought.
i remember the very stressful period during the week leading to last semester's exams. God seemed liked He was too busy to care abt me.. i was almost giving up when a Christian lady from my guitar class gave me an encouragement note and a bottle of vitagen. never did i expect that she would be the one God used to ask me to press on. her note, i put it on my table throughout the exam. each time i looked at it, it reminded me that God hasn't forgotten abt me. Thank You Lord.
when things got tough, God knew, so He appointed some of His children to be His hands and His feet, to encourage and to care. it's a miracle from God...
thank You Lord for a miracle today. reminding me that i'll never walk alone as long as i have faith. You will always be right here beside me all the way.
Lord, please use me as Your hands and Your feet to bless someone today. it's a joy to give.
help me to trust.
