All-Knowing God
Are You Joined at the Spiritual Hip?
God is all knowing as Psalm 139:4 explains, “Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it all.” He knows our thoughts, weaknesses, and heart better than we do (Romans 8:26-27). He knows our future (Acts 11:27-28). He knows what others are thinking, doing, and planning. He knows Satan’s schemes. There is no one to whom we can go who is more knowledgeable, loving, caring, wise, and invested in our best. When we begin our day bowed before Him, confessing our love, proclaiming His majesty, and thanking Him for His grace, His ears are tuned to our confessions, struggles, and needs. Our confidence to enter into our day, our inner peace, and joy aren’t in our circumstances and things beyond our control, but rather are in our loving Father in whom we have placed our trust. Whatever lies before us, we know our Father loves us, will be there for us, walk with us, and guide us.
The wise believer acknowledges God not only in routine blessings before meals but also acknowledges God in every area of their life. In other words, they are joined to Christ at the spiritual “hip.” They are united spirit to His Spirit from the time they open their eyes in the morning until they close them at night. Does that describe you?
Heavenly Father, You are the all KNOWING, omniscient Lord who loves me so much. Awaken me to the gift of Your presence Who is here to guide me through every moment of the day.

Does God Know Everything I Do, Say, and Think?
Have you ever wondered if God knows everything you’re doing, saying, and even thinking? The answer is yes. The Bible is filled with examples. In John 1:44-51, Jesus saw Nathanael, a man He had never met, coming toward Him. Jesus greeted him, “Behold, an Israelite… in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael was stunned and asked, “How do You know me?” Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you” (John 1:48). In awe, Nathanael responded, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel.”
Jesus knows everything. He knew Nathanael before Nathanael came to Him. He knew his innermost being.
Jesus knows you, everything about you. Does that make you comfortable or uncomfortable? If it makes you uncomfortable, consider if there is something in your heart or mind that you know is not in alignment with Christ. Then, be honest with Christ. Confess any sin. If it involves another person, apologize to them. If your sin is an ongoing habit or thought, ask the Lord for help to overcome it. Ask Him to fill you with His Spirit and help you walk in His power. Then, consume the Word of God like you would a favorite meal. Focus your mind on how wonderful Jesus is. Replace sinful thoughts with thoughts of truth and the Lord.
Rather than attempt to hide from God, embrace the all-knowing Christ who loves you more than you can imagine and is ready to forgive you, fill you with His Spirit, and empower you.
Lord, You are the all-knowing, OMNISCIENT Son of God. Thank You for loving and forgiving me. Cleanse me. Fill me with Your Spirit and empower me to live a holy life before You.
