Known and Understood
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
Psalm 139:1-4
I am known.
You are known.
The Psalmist tells us that the Lord knows everything about us.
Our sitting down and rising up, our thoughts, our path and our lying down, all our ways and even the words on our tongues.
Sometimes, in the midst of the chaos and trials and tribulations of life that we find ourselves in, we begin to feel isolated, like no one could ever understand our very unique situation.
Well, I’m here to tell you this morning that there is One who knows everything you are going through.
Everything about you is known and understood by the very Creator and Sustainer of the world.
He sees and understands your unique situation.
And furthermore, He not only knows, but He cares.
Are you feeling unseen, unheard and misunderstood today?
A bit invisible even?
As if your situation is so unique that no one could ever relate?
Be encouraged!
The Lord sees you! He is “acquainted with all of your ways”!
Reach out to Him today and pour out your heart.
He is a gracious and merciful Father and will comfort you in your situation, unique as it is!
