The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Job 33:4
This past week we read chapter 2, Being Known. Last week was all about knowing God, so this week we discovered how intimately God knows us. How God knows every single detail about our lives, past, present, and future (Hebrews 4:13), and he knows the "secrets of your heart" (Psalm 44:21). And yet, God still blessed us with His Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5).
Sometimes the knowledge that God knows every thought and every detail of my life is overwhelming, scary, and a bit embarrassing. But, most of the time, it brings me comfort to know that God understands me completely, even if everyone around me does not. I would rather have a relationship with a God who loves me so deeply that He wants to know all about me, rather than be a "fan" of a god who doesn't even know my name. God formed and shaped me (Job 10:8), He planned out my days (Psalm 139:13-16), He gave me a purpose (Jeremiah 29:11), and blessed me with gifts (Ephesians 4:11-13). God loves me as a child. I long to bring blessing to Him.
