God Knows What You Need

As we saw last week God intimately knows our faults, feelings, frustrations and our future.  He has already seen this day and every interruption and …

He knows all our fears.

He knows if we’re uptight and angry about something. If we think God doesn’t know or care about us, we can take matters into our own hands and take responsibility for things that God never intended us to take on.

Many of our emotional problems can be traced back to NOT really grasping the true nature of God. We misunderstand who he is and what he does. Many times when we are fatigued and weak we forget can that God  knows everything. 

God knows about every single issue you have and knows what you need. You don’t need to get his attention, He already has it.  You have his undivided attention. It’s no problem - that’s why he’s God.
He’s waiting for you and I ask for his help. He’s measured your tears in a bottle. He wants to offer his help. He loves you so much and he knows what’s happened in your life, so look to him for comfort and strength.

He knows all about your faithfulness.
He knows all of your efforts of peacemaking and helping others. He knows when you do the right thing! He sees it! He knows when you stand up for him. He knows every opportunity you had to gossip and you didn’t and every opportunity to be critical and you weren’t!

No matter how seemingly insignificant, every good deed, every encouraging word, every compliment, and every act of kindness God knows about it. He doesn’t miss who you are and what you do.  He will reward you.

Imagine you’re the only one on stage and you’re acting out your whole life.  There is only one person in the audience and that’s God and he’s clapping. That’s all that really counts! You might think nobody saw what you did, but God did and does every day. Even your positive thoughts God knows.  There’s no moment when his eyes are off you.

God, I’m trying to live out my faith, it doesn’t matter how I appear in public.’ Character is who you are when no one is looking, but your reputation is what other people say about you.  It matters when nobody’s looking because God is. God says, “I saw that… way to go my child, I’m watching you!”

Your heavenly father is always watching you, He sees you all the time. He sees your faithfulness. He saw what you did. His opinion is what really matters! Since God sees the good things you do and he’s cheering you on then don’t be discouraged! He loves you so much and he knows what’s happened in your life, so look to him for comfort and strength

Maybe you’ve been trying to be a godly person and seems like it’s not paying off or it isn’t making a difference. Rest assured God sees it. It doesn’t matter what everybody else does, but it does matters what you do.
