Today I wanted to share from Psalm 139:1, a simple yet amazing text from the Bible.
"You have searched me, Lord, and you know me"
Wow. That is so profound in many levels.
The God of the Universe...takes notice of me.
Yup He does. That's why so many times in the Bible it talks about the 1 Coin or 1 Sheep that was lost, he would leave the rest and go find that missing one. That's so comforting to know.
God searches DEEP within me... not just on the surface.
He sees and knows everything, even before I utter any word. In fact, He searches within us so deep that he is aware of all of our Wishes, Dreams, Fears and Concerns.
God REALLY knows me...more than the people closest to me.
He is not only our Lord, King and Saviour. He is also our Best Friend. Only a very close friend knows what is going on in my life. Sometimes even better than I can know myself.
There's a story in the Bible about a man named Zacchaeus, a tax collector. He wasn't really accepted and often scorned by the people because of his cheating habits. Yet Jesus took notice of him. In Luke 19:5b it is said that “Jesus looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name!
God not only knows who you are but also where you are in life. He knew Zacchaeus was going through a bad patch and needed the special touch (attention) of the Lord.
I am so thankful that I don't have to Attract His attention or Earn His approval...
He constantly has His Eye over me and He accepts me for who I am.
Isn't that just amazing? I am thoroughly blown away at this one verse.
Perhaps you needed to hear this today.
YES, He knows you and He loves you!
Blessings & Shalom.
