God Knows

God Knows us.
“O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. 
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. 
You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. 
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be”
                                                                        Psalm 139:1-16.
The above is a Psalm of David. It tells clearly that God knows us intimately. David says,
“My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be”
  I believe in part this is why Jesus said,
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.  
For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” 
                    Matthew 7:1,2.
We as humans are very limited in what we know. We do not know what is in a persons heart mind or soul. We have no idea what makes a person who they are.
Our most advanced science is only scratching the surface of all there is to know especially when it comes to human beings.
When it comes to the human brain in particular we know very little, medical science is just beginning to unravel the mysteries there in.
What makes a person do what they do is hard to say. That is why we are called not to judge.
I remember someone years ago coming into my office and saying to me very honestly “you’re odd for a Christian.”
My immediate thought was why, so I asked him. He said, “because you don’t treat me like I have some special sin or illness, like other Christians I know.”
He was without saying it, referring to a Christian bible study group on the campus where I worked. They were very anti gay. He’d been turned off by them.
You see this man was gay.
I’d worked with him on various committees for sometime and never gave it a second thought. But his coming to my office gave me a chance to present what I believe to him.
I quoted Matthew seven that tells Christians not to judge and I read to him Psalm 139 that tell us that God knew us even as we were being formed.
I admitted I didn’t know why he was gay that, that was between him and God. That I had no right to judge him. My job was to simply point him to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Something I noted I did with anyone who was interested in knowing what I believed be they gay or strait.
The important thing for both Christians and non-Christians to understand is that Christians have no right to judge.
Jesus tells Christians to
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  
that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”
                                                                               Matthew 5: 43-45
“Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  
This is the first and greatest commandment.  
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” 
                                                                                   Matthew 22:37-40.
“Jesus love you” is a true statement.
The obligation a Christian has to God is tell people how to get heaven.
The book of Acts tell of a incident between Paul and Silas and their jailor it states,
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.  
Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody’s chains came loose.  
The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped.  
But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!” 
The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.  
He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 
                                                                                                                                     Acts 16:25-31
That statement is as true today as the day it happened and it applies to all people. No matter who they are.
Think about it.
