Psalms 139:1 O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
Observation
When I think about searching something I get an image in my mind of a CAT Scan, or an MRI. Something that searches places and things that we can not see, or maybe not even feel. God has already done that. He will not be caught "off guard" by some he finds, like a doctor might. He has searched me and his search is complete. Nothing will be a surprise, and because of that he "knows" me. Looking the word "know" up in the Hebrew it is everything you would think about knowing; to reveal, be made know, distinguish, be acquainted with, to perceive, etc.
Application
What is the point today? The point is that the all knowing God has taken an interest in me and knows me. The question is do I know him? The pastor yesterday was preaching out of Proverbs and talked about the ups and downs of life and how we question why this or that has happened and we may even get an "ATTITUDE" about it. He got a puzzle out and threw it on the floor. He picked up ONE piece and asked if any one could tell what the big picture was supposed to be. No, not from one piece. So it is with our life. Today is one piece. Possibly 6 months is one piece. Possibly a YEAR is one piece. So why do we in our short sightedness "question" why this is happening to me?! God knows me, my position in all this is get to know God. Not just a good feeling, but know the nature of God, get the big picture of who God is, and have full confidence that this "ONE PIECE" that "I" can't figure out, is a part of a big picture, a big life for the kingdom that God has for me......because he knows me like no one else does, and I am Thankful for that.
Prayer
Thank You Father for knowing me, and because you know me I will trust you. Mine small mind, and small thinking can't make sense of some things, but because you know me and what is best for me and building the Kingdom of God I can rest in what I see today. Whether today seems good or bad, wrong or right, high or low you know me and I ask that my eyes would be focused on kingdom thinking instead of stinkin thinkin if something doesn't seem right in "my" eyes. I would know that where ever I am, is part of the glorious BIG picture you are piecing together for me....even now. Amen.
