He Knows Me

Nah 1:7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Psa 4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

We find that thought in each of the verses

God keeps account of all of his. We are told that when we are saved our names are written down in the Lamb’s book of Life, God know if we are alive or not. What I find tragic is you don’t find any keeping of those whose names are not in the Book of Life. I understand God keeps a record of sin, but only those with their names in THE BOOK go to heaven. What a sad thought to live for the devil all your life and then live in almost anonymity throughout eternity. The Devil doesn’t care who you are. But God does. HE Cares and he knows where you are.

I love that song that goes -

He counts the stars one and all He knows how much sand is on the shore He sees every sparrow that falls He made the mountain and the seas He's in control of everything Of all creatures great and small

CHORUS He knows my name Every step that I take Every move that I make Every tear that I cry And He knows my name When I'm overwhelmed by the pain And can't see the light of day I know ill be just fine Cause He knows my name

I don't know what tomorrow will bring I can't tell you what's in store I don't know a lot of things I don't have all the answers to the questions of life But I know in whom I believe

During the census a few years ago, a mother was asked by a census taker how many children she had. She had a very large family, so she started to go through all her children, "Oh, let’s see now, there’s Billy, and there’s Harry, and there’s Martha, and there’s..."

And the census taker got a little impatient and annoyed with her,

"Never mind their names, just give me the number!"

Well, the mother got very indignant and said to the man,

"They don’t have numbers, they all have names!"

And that’s the way it is with our relationship with the Lord.

You might be a number to the I.R.S., but with God, He knows your name! You are a person to Him. He knows you personally and individually by name. He knows everything about you.

2 Timothy 2:19 "Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: ’The Lord knows those who are his...’"

I am glad God knows those that are his. He knows where they are, what they are going through, what they need, and how to help.
