You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. Psalm 139:1-4

Thoughts ~

When my children were very small, they loved playing hide and seek with me.  I loved seeing their little feet sticking out from behind a curtain or hear them giggling as I got close. They seemed to think if they couldn’t see me, then certainly I couldn’t see them.

Even though I can’t see the Lord, I know He can see me.  And not just see my exterior but see my heart and mind.  He knows the whole essence of who I am and I cannot hide anything at all from Him. He knows my thoughts before I speak them. And so, knowing this has helped my prayer life, my spiritual walk and the way I live my life.

My prayer life is honest. I tell the Lord absolutely everything. My walk is more consistent because I know He sees my steps. My lifestyle choices involve decisions I know He would want me to make. He may have billions of people to watch over, but I am aware I can never hide myself from Him.

Action ~

Think about some ways you might be “hiding” from the Lord. Are you mentally covering your ears to what He has to say to you?


Pray ~

Father, thank You for loving me even though You know the real me more than anyone else does. I love you.

Trusting in Him,
Becky
