GOD knows us

 

Psalm 139:17-18

King James Version

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, 

O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, 

they are more in number than the sand: 

when I awake, I am still with thee.


There is no hiding from GOD.

He knows everything about us.

He knows the contents of our heart.

He knows every bit of our being.

He knows all our intentions.

This particular psalm reveals how much GOD knows us:

Psalm 139:1-16

King James Version

139 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, 

thou understandest my thought afar off.

3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, 

and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, 

but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, 

and laid thine hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; 

it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? 

or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: 

if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, 

and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, 

and thy right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; 

even the night shall be light about me.

12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; 

but the night shineth as the day: 

the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: 

thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; 

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: 

marvellous are thy works; 

and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, 

when I was made in secret, 

and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, 

yet being unperfect; 

and in thy book all my members were written, 

which in continuance were fashioned, 

when as yet there was none of them.

ASSURANCE we need

 


1 John 3:1

King James Version

3 Behold, what manner of love 

the Father hath bestowed upon us, 

that we should be called the sons of God: 

therefore the world knoweth us not, 

because it knew him not.


I'd like to tell you about something sure.

Such as GOD's love for us.

The purity, and certainty of it.

Where man's love falters, GOD's love remains.

Jeremiah 31:3

King James Version

3 The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, 

Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: 

therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.


John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.


Hebrews 13:8

King James Version

8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, 

and to day, and for ever.


How much do you know GOD?

How much do you know about His love for you?

How much do you care to know?

If you care to know, this blog is for you.

If you need comfort, this blog will serve you.

If you need peace, this blog will surely help you.

If you need clarity, you will love it here. 


GOD doesn't play favorites.

He loves both Jew, and Gentile, alike.

That's why He sent His Son, JESUS.

That's why He sent His prophets, His saints, and His angels.

GOD knew all of us needed saving.

Anytime you need help, and no help from the world seems forthcoming, do call upon the LORD.

Romans 10:11-13

King James Version

11 For the scripture saith, 

Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: 

for the same Lord over all 

is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord 

shall be saved.


Anyone who boasts about his own salvation, doesn't really know GOD.

Anyone who marginalizes others, doesn't know GOD's heart.

Anyone who fosters hatred, isn't a disciple of JESUS.

If we live by our intellect, that's pride.

If we live by our beauty, that's vanity.

If we live by our wealth, that's insanity.

If we live by the Bible, that's clarity.
