Memorise:
O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. Psalm 139:1.
READ : Psalm 139:1-6.
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Message
God is the only one whose knowledge covers both actual and possible
happenings. He knows everything about things that are, and He has the
knowledge of all things that could have been. Concerning you, He knows
everything, down to the very thought of your heart. Even the things you
will think of in future, He knows them (Psalm 139:1-2). The
devil’s knowledge is not in any way close to the level of God’s
knowledge at all. He does not know the thought of your heart unless you
reveal it one way or the other. Don’t ever make the mistake of equating
Satan’s level of knowledge with that of God. Although Satan makes the
most of his limited knowledge in advancing the interest of his kingdom,
God is able to turn his wisdom and the wisdom of all your enemies into
foolishness. This was demonstrated in the case of Moses, who was born to
deliver Israel from their captivity in Egypt.
Several years
earlier in Genesis 15:13-14, when God was speaking to Abraham that
his descendants would be in servitude for four hundred (400) years in a
strange land, Satan heard it. At the expiration of the four hundred
(400) years, Satan knew that a saviour would be born for the deliverance
of God’s people. So he put machinery in place to eliminate this saviour
in order to stall the liberation of God’s people. One element of his
grand plan was the enthronement of a Pharaoh who would not acknowledge
Joseph or what he had done for Egypt. This Pharaoh was therefore hostile
to God’s people. Satan used him to decree the killing of all Hebrew
male children. In spite of this, Moses the liberator was raised under
his very nose, in his palace and with his resources. If Satan knew
everything, Moses would not have survived, he would have exposed him.
God is able to raise you up in the midst of your enemies. Indeed, the
Lord will blindfold all those seeking after your life and they will
become your greatest asset, helpers, providers and stepping stones to
greater heights in Jesus’ Name.
ACTION POINT :
Worship the
most High God for His exclusive attribute of being the all knowing and
for being able to bring His counsel to pass in your life, irrespective
of all that the enemies may plan.
