Question of the Day: How well does God know us?
Read about It
Read: Psalm 139:1–10
Who in your life knows you really, really well? Maybe you have a best friend who knows you well enough to finish your sentences. Or maybe your parents or guardians understand how you think so well that they’ve stopped you from doing something before you even started. It’s amazing how well other people can know us.
That idea becomes even more powerful when we realize that God is always with us. The author of this psalm, King David, understood how God is always with us. Even though you may not be able to see Him, we can trust God’s presence is always there through the Holy Spirit. God knows us far better than anyone else could. God is not only always with us and knows everything about us, but He’s always there to help exactly how we need.
