Does God know you?

Often times the thought crosses one's mind:

does God really know me? There are so many

people on the face of the earth, how does He

know me or what I do?

I think many people ask this question. Well, the

answer to this is found in the Psalm of David

and namely Psalm 139. Take another 'fresh'

look at this Psalm, and hopefully it will answer

some questions you may have had up till now:

I personally enjoy the Message translation

however each translation is so amazing

in it's wording of this great Psalm.

Here is the Living Bible translation:

Psalm 139

Living Bible (TLB)

1 O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 

2 You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought. 

3 You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. 

Every moment you know where I am. 

4 You know what I am going to say before I even say it.

5 You both precede and follow me and place your hand of blessing on my head.

6 This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe! 

7 I can never be lost to your Spirit! I can never get away from my God! 

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, 

you are there. 

9 If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, 

10 even there your hand will guide me, your strength will support me. 

11 If I try to hide in the darkness, the night becomes light around me. 

12 For even darkness cannot hide from God; to you the night shines as bright 

as day. Darkness and light are both alike to you.

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit them together in 

my mother’s womb. 

14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! It is amazing to think about. 

Your workmanship is marvelous—and how well I know it. 

15 You were there while I was being formed in utter seclusion! 

16 You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I 

began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!

17-18 How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly!

I can’t even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me.[a] And 

when I waken in the morning, you are still thinking of me!

19 Surely you will slay the wicked, Lord! Away, bloodthirsty men! Begone! 

20 They blaspheme your name and stand in arrogance against you—how silly can 

they be? 

21 O Lord, shouldn't I hate those who hate you? Shouldn’t I be grieved with them? 

22 Yes, I hate them, for your enemies are my enemies too.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test my thoughts.

24 Point out anything you find in me that makes you sad, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

(Emphasis mine)

God knows about me He knows where I am. HE KNOWS ME AND HE KNOWS YOU!

That is security if ever anyone needed to be secure. 

Whenever thoughts of doubt or unworthiness want to knock on your front

door, simply get out Psalm 139 and read it out loud and be reminded, daily -

God Loves you and has your best interests at heart, He knows ALL the days

he planned for you and He knows why and how He created you. Rejoice in

Him....

Blessings in Christ Our Lord
