The Comfort of His Omniscience

The omniscience of God: He knows my actions--"the eyes of the Lord are in everyplace beholding the evil and the good." He knows my thoughts--my motivations--how deeply I long to please Him. He knows my conversation--even when I'm talking to myself. He knows my faults and my gifts. He knows my fears, struggles, and my deepest prayers. He knows my past and my present. He knows my heart, my anxious thoughts. He knows my daily journey from when I rise in the morning until I fall asleep at night. He is "intimately acquainted with all my ways." He knows me infinitely better than I know myself. Nothing of who I am is hidden from Him.

And He loves me. He has willingly adopted me into His family that He might be my Father. He desires for me to know Him as intimately as He knows me. He desires to show me to myself so that by submitting to His Spirit I can be transformed more and more into His likeness.His plan for my journey is to work all things for good.

He has hidden me in His Son. He has removed my condemnation.

"Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any way of pain in me, and lead me in the everlasting way."

What comfort to be fully known and to be eternally loved by God, our Abba.
