ALL KNOWING GOD

 

August 30    ALL KNOWING GOD
         
“God is greater than our hearts, and He knows everything” 1 John 3:19-20


 Who can stand before The All Knowing God and boast about anything? Do we know The God who knows everything and all things about us? Yes, He is our Creator, he designed us and put us in our mother’s womb. Can the pot ever ask the potter how he was created or why? The potter moulds the clay into any shape and size that he wants, he is not in any way answerable to the clay.

Our Heavenly Father is the Potter and we are the objects of his creation, the clay in his hands. He alone knows the ones that are fragile, the ones that are strong, the ones that will survive under any circumstances. The psalmist says “O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up…….Psalm 139:1-4. This is the power that our creator has over us, our thoughts are known to him and He deals with them for our own good. The psalmist says that He sifts through our thoughts, He deletes what may be harmful to us and repackages us to achieve his purpose in our lives. 

The God of all creation knows everything about us, even the things we do not keep account of. Today we have combed and brushed our hair and we have strands of hair left in the comb, none of us can count the strands of hair on our combs much more the hair on our head. In the gospel of Luke 12:7 we meet with our God who knows every small, inconsequential detail of our life, “the hairs on our heads are numbered.” Who on earth would care for us in such details, only he who loves us so deeply that He made us in his own image and likeness.

 This makes us feel very special, deeply loved and cared for. We are all treasured by The All Knowing God, valued more than anything else we may consider. 
There is no creature hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed…. Heb 4:13. There is no hiding place for all of creation, from He who knows the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done- Isaiah 46:10, He is The All-Knowing God.

Many years ago, I sat in my church and listened to the testimonies of some women who had just returned from a pilgrimage to Israel. I was so excited that I said in my heart, not to anyone’s hearing, “by this time next year I would go to Israel.” My thoughts and my desires ended there with me but not with the Lord who knows our thoughts before we act on them, took over my thoughts and planned everything. I had no idea about the pilgrimage and what it entails, exactly a year to that very month I had a free all expenses paid trip to Israel on a pilgrimage. 
     
We are blessed of The Lord who knows all things about us and forgives us all our sins. Today, as we commit all of ourselves to our Lord, let us understand that there is nothing that He does not know about us. The Book Of Life is a record of ALL our deeds, let us draw close to He who knows us all and is ready to forgive us all our sins. 

Let Us Pray: Our Father in heaven we desire to live a life that is pleasing to you. May we live our lives enjoying the privilege of being watched by you. Thank you Lord.

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
