Did you know that God keeps a record of our sorrows and He records our tears?
Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll, are they not in your record? Psalm 56:8
Did you know that God keeps a record of those who fear him and honor his name?
Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name. Malachi 3:16
Did you know that God judges our secrets?
On that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus. Romans 2:16
Did you know that God knows the number of hairs on your head?
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Luke 12:7
OK…so maybe I went a bit overboard with scriptures on this post but only because these verses hit home more than most because some of us are just going about our lives living in our own bliss right?
If you actually think you can skate under God’s radar because you think you are a good guy and never really get into trouble… Then I have some bad news for you…More scripture…
For a man’s ways are in full view of the Lord, and He examines all of his paths. The evil deeds of a wicked man ensnare him; the cords of his sin hold him fast. He will die for lack of discipline, led astray by his own great folly.
Proverbs 5: 21-23
Guys…Ignorance is not bliss… and just because you don’t spend time thinking about God doesn’t mean He isn’t thinking about you. He pays attention to everything you do, everything you think, and everything you say, and for anyone to think otherwise is foolish…
He made you in His image and because He is God, He is completely in touch and connected to everything about you…EVEN IF YOU DON’T THINK SO.
Your secrets are NOT secrets to God.
You are NOT the only one who knows your deep personal thoughts. God knows them too…
My point is this: because there is a God out there who actually cares to number the hairs on your head, or who pays attention to just you, or keeps a record of your tears…Honestly, that is the kind of God you should follow.
Where else on earth would anyone care like that? Short answer…nowhere. No one on this earth can know as much about YOU as He does…
Please don’t ignore what I am telling you today.
My simple recommendation…instead of living in denial that He doesn’t know anything about you or that all of the verses I quoted above don’t apply to you…
Instead…try calling upon His name, Jesus Christ, in order to change your direction.
Trust me on this.
In the end, Ignorance of God and His ways will NOT be bliss…
Until next time guys…
