God Knows

Matt Erdmann
Psalm 94:10b “He knows everything-doesn’t he also know what you are doing?”
God knows. That is reassuring, challenging, convicting, encouraging, and honestly a little scary.
God knows what is going on in my life. He knows the good, the bad, and the ugly. He knows my heart, he knows my actions, he sees it all. He is the ultimate accountability partner. I can’t slip anything past him and it is futile to try.
Yet at times I, and maybe others, have the attitude that the Psalmist talks about in verse 7… “The Lord isn’t looking, they say, and besides, the God of Israel doesn’t care.”
How ridiculous that statement is!!! God is looking and He does care, more than I even know or can comprehend.
Verses 8-9 repond to this misguided attitude and perspective. “Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on? Is the One who made your ears deaf? Is the one who formed your eyes blind?” Nothing gets past the Lord and He will respond appropriately to the way I am living my life.
Father thank you that you know. Thank you Lord that you care. Thank you that you are not deceived and you are not mocked. Help me Lord to constantly be aware of your presence, your omniscience, and your involvement in my life. Jesus please continue to prod me, provoke me, and pierce my heart with the reminder of your sacrifice of love for me. Amen.
