Psa 139:1-6 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. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.
God, You know me! Think about this for a minute. It is something that is far too great to put into words though we try. We kind of know ourselves. We know what we like and don’t like. As we get older we may learn to recognize what triggers happiness and anger, love and hate, peace and anxiousness, giving freely and greed, humbleness and pride, gentleness and impatience, rest and fear, truth and false, good and bad, right and wrong, etc…., but if we are to be honest we don’t truly know ourselves. We may even adopt an unhealthy opinion of ourselves one way or the other.
God knows you!
God knows all of your thoughts!
God knows all of the words you will speak before you speak them!
God knows all of the actions you have taken or will take!
God has a purpose and plan for your life!
God knows everything past, present, and future about you, EVERYTHING!
God knows all of our intents in the actions and words we speak!
God knows every single sin of your life!
What is more glorious, precious, unfathomable, and impossible to comprehend is that God knows all of this, and despite knowing, He sent His Son to redeem, adopt, and make you His child. The God of all creation, all-knowing, ever-present, and all-powerful, holy, glorious, pure, and righteous has not only made Himself known, sent His Son to redeem us, but has sent His Holy Spirit to guide, lead, encourage, convict, and fill us with His Spirit.
God knows everything about you! Do you ever wonder what the fullness of grace, mercy, and love of God is? Knowing everything about you, He sent His Son to die for you. This just scratches the surface of the magnitude of God’s grace, mercy, and love. David said; “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.”
What manner of person should we be in light of His glory, grace, mercy, love, and adoption?
