to Know

Today I read in Exodus 2. There was one verse that really stood out to me (verse 25). It read:

“God saw the people of Israel - and God knew.”

Wow. How powerful is that? The people of Israel are crying out to God to deliver them from slavery - from the hand of the Egyptians, from the killing of their own children, and from bondage. You really should read the entire chapter in context. It’s crazy what the Israelites are going through! The cry out, and not only does God hear, but He knows. He knew the extent of their pain. He saw, he heard, he understood. He knew.

And He knows. He knows me. He knows exactly where I’m at even when I don’t cry out to Him or spend time in prayer. He knows my future, He knows my past, He knows where I’m at now, He knows every inch of me - all my worries, concerns, sins - and He loves me despite myself.

He knows.
