\"SeekingHimLogo\"<\/a>
\nO Lord, You have searched me and You know me<\/span>
\n You know when I sit and when I rise<\/span>
\n You perceive my thoughts from afar.<\/span>
\n You discern my going out and my lying down<\/span>
\n You are familiar with all my ways.<\/span>
\n Psalms 139:1-3<\/span><\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n

The whole chapter of Psalm 139 describes various aspects of God\u2019s attributes especially His omnipresence and omniscience as well as the ways that these characteristics relate to His care for His people.<\/p>\n

The God of heaven and earth created us and has perfect knowledge of us. \u00a0He is always with us and His thoughts are always directed toward us in every situation.<\/p>\n

As mountains surround Jerusalem
\nso the Lord surrounds His people both now and forevermore.
\nPsalm 125:2<\/p>\n

In verses 1-3 of Psalm 139 it shows God knows all our inward thoughts, motives, desires, and fears as well as our outward habits and actions. \u00a0He knows all we do from the beginning of the day to its end. \u00a0In everything we do, He encircles us with His care and lays His hand of favor upon our heads.<\/p>\n

Our God knows everything and so we should not deceive ourselves that He is not there watching when we are doing what is not pleasing unto Him. \u00a0He sees all. \u00a0Refer to the verses below for a good understanding of how God operates:<\/p>\n

\n

Do you not know? Have you not heard?
\nThe Lord is the everlasting God the Creator of the ends of the earth,
\nHe will not grow tired or weary
\nand His understanding no one can fathom.
\nIsaiah 40:28<\/p>\n

He reveals deep and hidden things,
\nHe knows what lies in darkness and light dwells with Him.
\nDaniel 2:22<\/p>\n

…do not be like them for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
\nMatthew 6:8<\/p>\n

…and again, The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.
\n1 Corinthians 3:20<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Even in times with our adversaries let us bear in mind that God knows the situation even beforehand. \u00a0He just waits for us to call on Him and will give us the desires of our hearts. \u00a0He will wipe away our tears, taking away the shame.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n

Holy, Holy are You, our God. \u00a0Heaven and earth are full of Your glory; Hosanna in the highest. \u00a0Thank You for You are the God who sees and knows us in every way. \u00a0Thank You for this privilege to be called Your sons. \u00a0May You search our hearts and our minds…and if you find anything that is not worthy…please uproot it in Jesus\u2019 name so that we live a holy life pleasing unto You. \u00a0Be with us now and forever more. \u00a0We pray in Jesus\u2019 name amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
