God Knows, and He Cares
65
He knows when we awake wishing we hadn't seen the light of day. And that though we drag our weary bodies out of bed, we'd much rather bury ourselves back in. He knows all the ungodly thoughts that cloud our minds as we prepare for the day. He knows how much we're dreading having to face the world. Again. He knows.
He knows that although we get down on our knees to pray for strength to make it through the day, our words are more doubt-filled than faith-filled. He knows how many uncertainties confront and taunt us through our day.
He knows just how easily we can become frustrated with others. And when we're ready to give them a piece of our minds. He knows that sometimes we're even harsh with ourselves. Judging ourselves unjustly and criticizing ourselves. Feeling down about who we are, where we are in life, and even, where we've been.
He knows when we're hurting, be it, physically, emotionally, or in any other way. God knows, and He cares.
He knows how much we long to be loved and accepted. Even by those we pretend we can do without. He knows how much we want to be able to love and care for ourselves. And others. He knows how much we want to love Him. Yes, He knows. He knows how much we want to be free from every weight that so easily besets us. He knows that we yearn to be holy, as He is holy.
He knows how we overanalyze everything that happens to us throughout the day. He knows that we must stop rationalizing and start trusting. In Him. He knows how much we long to take Him at His Word, even when we fail to do so.
He knows how much we want to release our lives into His hands, allowing His will to be done on our behalf. He knows we want to seek after Him with unbridled zeal and follow Him without compromise. He knows that our heart's desire is to capture His heart.
And though He already knows all about us and all that concerns us, He still wants us to express these things to Him in prayer. Honestly. He wants us to tell Him all about it. He wants us to open up about our lives and the good, bad and ugly things in them. He already knows, but He wants to hear it from us. He wants to be able to show us just what He can and is willing to do for us as we come bearing our souls to Him, the All-Knowing God, who cares for us.

Yes, God knows everything. You can fool humans but never God.
He knows all our intentions..how we think..one man thought he would outsmart God..
he presented himself to God and asked..what does a million years represent to you..God answered.." A minuite."
Then the man asked God. "What does a million dollars represent to you.?"
God answered, " A penny."
Man asked God.. " Would you please give me a penny."
God answered, " In a minute."
lol...So you see you can't outsmart God, much less hide your true intentions
This is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this excellent writing. It is EVERYTHING I needed to hear today. Thank you from the bottom of my soul.
Jack West, I am pleased that this hub touched you. Thank you very much. We all need to be reminded of these things from time to time. God bless you, my brother.
So true, DancingRedFeather.
broussardleslie, thank you for your lovely comments. And I'm so grateful that it was everything you needed to hear.
Thank you, in these times we need to lift up one another.
In His service,
BL
I do know that the more I know, the more I don't know. What a blessing to know that in spite of my falling short of knowing God fully, he knows me through and through. I stand in awe of his omniscience. Great reminder of a hub!
Yolonda Yvette,
Thank you! This was quite thought provoking!
It is importantnt to keep in mind that God knows everything!
He is Omnisicient! When we approach Him in prayer it is to connect and communicate with Him. To thank Him for who He is and ask Him to "give us today our daily bread." Fill us with His Spirit so we can then go about our day living in His presence!
Blessings
Thank you, Gicky.

It is so wonderful that He loves us in spite of our shortcomings! Blessed be the name of the Lord. This hub has made me a great devotional this morning. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, U Neek, it is so wonderful that He loves us in spite of our shortcomings. He remembers that we are but dust. And I'm so glad He does. His mercy endures forever. Praises to His name.
I'm honored that you were able to use this hub as your morning devotional. God knows where we are in life, and thankfully He meets us RIGHT where we are. Hallelujah!!

I needed to be reminded that for sure
Glad to hear that, enock. Blessings abound upon your life, friend.
Very beautiful, through all our faults, and failures Jesus is still for us. Jesus is a present help in the time of trouble. The book of Job says "man born of woman is of a few days and full of trouble. Sister keep it up, encouraging us, this is what Jesus wants you to do. God Bless You!
Thank you. I want you to know that all of your comments have been more to me than just that. They have been answer to a particular prayer that I'd prayed just a day ago. God is so good and faithful and loving for sending you to confirm to me what I needed to hear from Him. He has used you this day to bless and guide me. Blessings upon you now and all the days of your life.
Thanking you for an encouraging hub. What a great way to start my day. He knows -- everything -- yet he loves us anyway. Isn't that wonderful?

...as if you were reading my mail. : ). knowing He knows is so comforting and what a great reminder that even though He knows He wishes for us to speak with Him.
Thanks, Tamarajo. Yes, it is comforting knowing our great God knows all about us and is waiting for us to turn to Him with our cares.
yolanda precious sister in Him This is timely and so perfect for me. I relate to each word you share. This is a beautiful writing and I pray many are led here. God is true and amazing and yes he does know. He is our Father and we can not imagine His love so great. He sees around the bend we do not. Absolutely beautiful. I was to read this today. Know that I am encouraged. The Spirit my comforter knows and will lead. It is no mistake you came to visit the other day sista in Christ. Even if we think we miss the boat of his voice He loves more then or finite minds can comprehend. God will meet us where we are at. In Him we will grow and Love more and want to know Him more and it is like one colorful snowball of love know you, love you want to km Him more so on.

Thank you , Eutropia. God bless.
So many people try to pick up the pieces themselves not realizing there is a God who cares and knows how to make us whole. You have beautifully described the Love and care of a mighty God. I pray those who read will embrace the possibility that God is one breath away ready to hold us and show us the blessing that is available through Jesus. Vote way up!
Calico Stark, I can't tell you how much your words mean to me and how right on time they are, when I find myself needind to be reminded that God does know and indeed care. Thank you for the read, the touching comment and the vote. God bless you.
