“O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar …” (Psalm 139:1-14).
On a recent visit to a friend’s workplace, I met a Security Officer who knew a lot about me. He knew my father and other relatives; he also knew where I was from and where I was presently living. How does it feel to be known by someone whom you do not know? Depending on the person, if it’s a stranger you may feel a bit exposed or uncomfortable. While if it by a certain caliber of people, such as the president of the United States or the Queen, you may feel real important.
Whoever it is, you may want to find out something about the person who knows you, to sort of level the ‘playing field’.
The One who is of the highest caliber knows everything about us, even before we were born (Jer. 1:5). O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar (Psalm 139:1-2).He knows our name, He knows us so well that even the very hairs upon our heads are numbered (Matt. 10:30).
Wouldn’t it be good to know something about Him? I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of mine. (John 10:14). May we purpose in our hearts and start today by reading His words, talking to Him and developing a personal relationship with Him.
Prayer: Lord, thank you that even though You know everything about me, You still love me, help me to take the time to know You and to love you even more.
