You Are Known
How much does God know about you?
Verse of the Day
‘O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.’
Today’s Devotional
The next few days, as we continue to study our identity, we will be looking at several verses from Psalm 139. I highly recommend reading this entire chapter before we go on. Just click on this: PSALM 139.
Go ahead. I’ll wait.
If there was ever a doubt about God’s care and concern for you, then I challenge you to read this chapter every day for a period of time. Let the beauty of these words sink into your soul.
You are known by the God of heaven, my friend. He knows things about you that even you don’t know. He knows why you react the way you do to things. He knows why you get worried and scared. He knows all of your secrets. He knows all of your wonderful, precious qualities. He knows where you struggle. He knows where you have victory.
And knowing everything about you does not scare Him away. If anything, His knowledge of you makes Him yearn for you to draw close to Him. He can see how much you need Him. And He is so proud of the areas where you have submitted to His Lordship. He applauds you when you choose kindness and selflessness.
If you have ever had a time in your life when you thought no one understood you, then today’s verse should point you to the truth that God knows and understands you.
You are known by God. Known and loved by the Creator. It’s overwhelming. It’s who you are.
