Hello Everyone,

The question that we ended with yesterday was: Why do people who profess to know God still turn back to weak and miserable principals for their guidance and help rather than turn to God?

First of all they don’t realize how much God knows about them.

Galatians 4:9a“But now that you know God-or rather are known by God.”

We mistakenly think God knows as much about us as we know about Him. (Which is not very much.) “God only sees me every Sunday between 10:30-12” yea right.

God knows everything about everyone!
He knows our every thought even before we think.
He knows every one of our strengths and every one of our weaknesses

If God knows everything about us why then would we go instead to someone in the world who knows nothing about us for guidance and help?

I know you know nothing about me but could you give me guidance and help…
The only one who can give us the very best guidance and help is God- because he knows us the best.

One translation of Psalm 139 (1-6) says:
God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I’m an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I’m thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I’m never out of your sight. You know everything I’m going to say before I start the first sentence. I look behind me and you’re there, then up ahead and you’re there, too - your reassuring presence, coming and going. This is too much, too wonderful-I can’t take it all in!

For the Child of God –realizing how much God knows about them is meant to be something wonderful.

It’s wonderful to be able to go to someone who knows everything about you for guidance and help.
Why would we then go instead to someone in the world who knows nothing about us?

Oh How HE Loves Us!
