May 6 | Psalm 139:1-3
“Oh Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I stand up; You discern my thoughts from a distance. You lead the way, and my lying down, and you are acquainted with all my ways.” (Psalm 139:1–3)
We search for someone who can know us, love us for who we really are. It takes a lifetime to know another human being. That’s why God created marriage, a relationship to can grow intimate with one person.
Even when they spend a lifetime together, husband and wife choose how much of themselves they share. They won’t know each other as well as God knows you. He created you, and He knows you better than anyone.
He knows the good and bad, what you hide and show. He knows the smokescreens you put up, and sees right through them. Jesus says every hair on your head. For some of us that’s harder than others.
He knows your plans, hopes, disappointments, and dreams. He knows what’s best for you. He’s interested in you. There is no one else like that in the universe.
For some people, the intimacy and closeness God has with them scares them. But for others it is a great comfort. You can’t get away from Him. You can’t hide anything from Him. Is that scary or comforting to you?
Action Step: You can’t get away from the fact that God knows you in and out. Do you like what He sees? You can allow His Spirit to change you. Listen to Him and obey His Word. He conforms you to Jesus’s image, and makes you holy and beautiful before Him.
Lord, You know everything about me. You see the good, the bad, and the ugly. Make me beautiful in Your sight. Conform me to Jesus’s image and make me like You. Show me Your ways.
