He Knows Us
I am everywhere-- both near and far, in heaven and on earth. There are no secret places where you can hide from me. James 4:17 NASB (Jeremiah 23:24 CEV?)
In Other Words
"Do you think you have secrets from Me? Can you really hide from Me?" The Lord asks. "No, you can neither hide nor keep secrets from Me."
Small Bites
✓ God knows us. We have no secrets from Him
✓ He hears our lies, smells our sin, and sees our wrongdoing
✓ He knows us. Secrets from Him? Ha!
✓ He feels our hidden anxieties, hates our idle promises, and despises our hypocrisies
✓ He hears us. Hushed whispers are like shouts to God
✓ God knows what we touch, what touches us, and how we feel
✓ He knows us; suppressed feelings are transparent to Him
✓ We can't surprise Him, shock Him, or confess anything He doesn't already know
✓ He knows each of us. Our secrets make fools of ourselves, not Him
✓ He knows where we want to be, what we want to do, and who we want to do it with
✓ He knows us. God knows that secret, private part of us very well
✓ There is no part of us that God doesn't know; neither thought, nor dream, nor fantasy, nor idea
✓ He knows each of us. All of us
