“This place is under surveillance.” Such notice could make anyone uncomfortable. The reason for discomfort is the motivation for such surveillance. Will such information be used for good or evil? However, when God’s people know that God watches over them, it brings immense joy and comfort. The good news is that the all-knowing God knows me: (Psalm 139:1-6) God knows by searching, like CT scanning, the intentions, motivations, and thoughts.
All-knowing God: The omniscient God knows everything and knows his children intimately. God is omnipresent, and the wonderful news is that he is everywhere with a child of God. He is Emmanuel – God with us. (Matthew 1:23) God is the Creator. He not only created everything, seen and unseen, but also created each of His children.
Body Postures: God is aware of what his child does. God knows all postures: sit, stand, walk, lie down. During the daytime, a person is active. God knows or monitors such activities. Lying down is perhaps the best way to rest at night. God, who keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. (Psalm 121:4) God is concerned and cares for his children 24/7. God knows the number of hairs on our heads. (Matthew 10:30)
Thoughts and Intentions: David writes that God knows human thoughts from afar. God weighs or evaluates human thoughts and motives in the hearts of men. (Proverbs 16:2) Other people do not know our thoughts, Satan cannot know the human thoughts, only God can know the thoughts. David also states God knows, searches his paths, and is acquainted with his ways. It means God is familiar with our choices, preferences, and decisions.
Words: God knows the words before they proceed from the mouth. Because God knows the thoughts, it is easy for Him to know the articulation of thoughts into words. All humans must account for each word that proceeds from their mouths. (Matthew 12:36)
Security: God provides protection, safety, and security to His children. David states that God hems me around, is before and behind, and lays His hands upon me.
Do I realize that God knows me more than I know myself?
