"He Knows!"

"The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron." (Psalms 115:12)

 The title for today is written above this verse in my Bible. There is so much comfort in knowing that God loves us unconditionally, especially when we know that He knows every single thing about us. Jesus said, "the very hairs of your head are all numbered." God knows everything there is to know about us, even more than we know about ourselves! Can you number the hairs on you head? I don't think anyone could; but when a hair falls out, He knows that also! We try to explain things to God like He doesn't know what is going on; when in reality, we need God to explain what is going on to us. If there is something going on inside of us, He already knows; if it is something bad, it is only bad because we don't know the good it is going to do. Whenever the Bible says "all," all is what the Bible is speaking about; not some, or part, or even a portion, but every little bit. It sometimes does not make sense, but it really does not need to, not for us to trust Him and rest in His promises. If you study the Bible well enough, you will discover something about every terrible thing or mistake made by God's servants, God had found a way to use it for good, in some form or fashion. Everything that they did, or everything that was done to them, God took something that was made for evil and turned it to good; God took a mistake and made it into a way to fulfill a promise. That is probably the thing we seem to overlook the most, that there are no mistakes with God. He knows everything that is going to happen before it even happens! I cannot do anything that can surprise God! If He loved me yesterday, He still loves me today, no matter what; I am still the same to Him that I was before the day that I was even born...

""Sing for joy, O heavens! Rejoice, O earth! Burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted his people and will have compassion on them in their suffering. Yet Jerusalem says, "The LORD has deserted us; the Lord has forgotten us." "Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands. Always in my mind is a picture of Jerusalem's wall in ruin. Soon your descendants will come back, and all who are trying to destroy you will go away. Look around you and see, for all your children will come back to you. As surely as I live," says the LORD, "they will be like jewels or bridal ornaments for you to display."" (Isaiah 49:13-18) NLT
