Question of the Day: Who knows you best?
Read about It
Read: Psalm 139:1–6
Do you have a best friend—someone you share everything with? They know your favorite color, favorite movie, what type of pet you want, what you struggle with, and where you dream of going. They know you because they spend time with you. Does your best friend know everything about you? No, probably not. You can hide things from them because they aren’t with you all the time.
But God is different.
God is always with you and He knows everything about you. He knows when you are happy and when you are sad. He knows when you are awake, and He knows when you are asleep. He knows everything about you because He is always with you and He knows your thoughts. Even though He knows all of this, He wants to be your very best friend and someone you can turn to no matter what you need.
