God Knows Us Better….

I’ve stated this truth many times, but it keeps coming up in scripture as I read it throughout the year, so I will mention it again: God knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows our thoughts and intentions. He knows what we will do before we do it. And He knows our attitude towards all things. The world preaches “self love”, “look inside to find yourself”, and “forgive yourself”, but all of this doesn’t lead to the “utopia” the world promises. The only way to truly know yourself is to know the One Who made you. Knowing God helps us know ourselves. Knowing God helps us see ourselves for what we really are, sinners. Knowing God helps us see ourselves for who we are, chosen by Him to be loved and blessed, adopted into His family. If God isn’t part of our life, then all the pursuits of trying to know ourselves will fail miserably. And all we will be left with is disappointment, regret, and confusion, because we cannot redeem ourselves, only Jesus can.

21 And when great disasters come down on them, this song will stand as evidence against them, for it will never be forgotten by their descendants. I know the intentions of these people, even now before they have entered the land I swore to give them.” Deuteronomy 31:21
