When we think about God, many things come to mind.
We think of Him as the first Person in the Trinity.
We think of Him as the Father.
We think of Him as Creator.
God is omniscient
God is eternal.
God is love.
God is all of these and much more.
Because God has so many qualities, one thing that is easily
overlooked is how intimately God knows us.
The Psalmist understood this intimate knowledge.
Psalm 139:13 (NET) – Certainly you made my mind and heart; you wove me
together in my mother’s womb.
In fact, the Psalmist understood this very well.
Psalm 139:16 (NET) – Your eyes saw me when I was inside the womb. All
the days ordained for me were recorded in your scroll before one of them came
into existence.
The prophet Jeremiah understood this once the Lord spoke to
him.
Jeremiah 1:4-5 (NET) – The LORD said to me, “Before I formed you in the
womb I chose you. Before you were born I set you apart. I appointed you to be a
prophet to the nations.”
Yes, God knows each of us intimately.
He knows us so well that He knows what He has planned for our
lives.
He knew this even before we were aware of ourselves.
How is this even possible?
The Psalmist understood this as well.
Psalm 92:5 (NET) – How great are your works, O LORD! Your plans are
very intricate!
Someone once said, “The meaning of life is to find your gift.
The purpose of life is to give it away.”
God is the provider of gifts.
Have you found yours?
Have you given it away?
If either answer is no, now would be a good time to talk to
God about it.
He has known it all along.
