"For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on me," Even the night shall be light about me; Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You. Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men. For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain. Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139 1:24 NKJ
Did you catch that? God knows you!
He knows everything about you. Luke 12:7 tells us that the very hairs of your head are all numbered. He has counted the hairs on your head.
There is nothing that we do that He doesn't see. "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good." Proverbs 15:3 There is nowhere we can go that He isn't there. He hears every word that we say. He sees every action that we perform. He knows our every thought, Psalm 94:11 . He knows the secrets of our hearts, says Psalm 44:21. "And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."Hebrews 4:13
We will have to stand before Him one day and answer for our lives. The good and the bad. The good news is that Psalm 51:1-4 tells us that we can seek God's Mercy as David did. "Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me." He will gives us His mercy. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9. He is always faithful and true!
Not only does He know our faults and the secrets of our hearts, He also knows our good qualities, Our gifts and He see all the work of our hands. He sees when you secretly do something to help someone out. No one else may every see it, but God does. "so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:4 NIV.
We need to put to practice the recognition of God's presence at all times. To make sure that our attitude and behavior mimic that recognition. We need to mind our P's & Q's at all time and be aware of our actions. To often we worry about what others will say or think about our actions. How often do we worry about what God would say or think about our actions?
As the saying goes "Jesus is the unseen Guest at every meal, The silent listener to every conversation"
Father, I pray that those who are reading this will feel Your presence in their life. Father, help us all to be aware of You at all times. Help us to behave in a fashion that is worthy of You. We thank You that You are aware of us. That You do see us and love us. Guide us Father, as we go about our daily lives. Help us to make righteous decisions.
In Jesus name, Amen.
With God's Love,
Christian
