God knows Everything About Us

  • Introduction:
    • God knows everything about us, and there is no need to hide anything from God.
    • In today’s lesson, we want to see some things that God knows about us that often times we forget or try to hide from God.
    • The purpose of this lesson is to remind us that God knows everything, and God is on our side, ready to help us, when we do our part. 
  • God knows the: 
  • Secrets of the Heart– Psalm 44:21 “Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart”.
  • (to justify in a moral sense- upright, honest, having principles of rectitude, righteous, religious, living in exact conformity to the divine will).
  • Do you have a secret of the heart? 
  • Luke 16:14-17 “Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts”. 
  • Jeremiah 17:10 “I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings”. 
  • Because God knows the secrets of the heart, we can’t hide anything from God.
    • Confess it and get rid of it.
  • Don’t loose out on the blessings that God has for you by keeping a secret sin in the heart.
    • People may not know it, but God does.
  • If you’re Trusting in Him– Nahum 1:7 “The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him”.
    • Are you trusting in Him? 
  • We may be able to fool someone by telling them that we are trusting in God for a certain outcome, result, situation, answer, direction, open door, etc., but if we are not doing that, He knows it is so. 
  • God knows if you are truly trusting in Him. Let go of any doubt, fear, advantage, manipulation, pull, etc., and trust in Him completely. 
  • Promise of Trusting in God- Jeremiah 17:7-8 “Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD”.
    • This tree is always productive, always bearing fruit. The same is a man that trust in God. 
  • Frailty of Our Body– Psalm 103:14 “For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust”.
    • We don’t have to hide from God that we are weak, tired, hungry, sleepy, etc.,
    • He knows our physical, spiritual, and emotional, frailty. 
  • God know exactly how much we can take at work, at home, with kids, in ministry, etc. 
  • Solution- Matthew 11:28-30 “Take my yoke upon you… and ye shall find res unto your souls”. 
  • Yoke- to couple, to join with another. 
  • Temptations of Life– II Peter 2:9 “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation”
    • God knows the temptations that may trip us up, and He also knows how to deliver us from those temptations.
    • Instead of figuring it out for ourselves, we should look for His direction when we see the temptation coming our way.  
  • It’s like a corn maze, He’s the one on top and knows the way to get us out of the corn maze and into safety. 
  • God knows our temptation by lust, riches, wants, the eyes, the mind, etc., and He knows how to deliver us from such temptations. 
  • Look for the way out- I Corinthians 10:13 “but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (the temptation). 
  • Conclusion:
    • Because God knows the secrets of the heart, we have to keep it clean as often as possible.
    • Regarding trust, we either are trusting in God or in something or someone else.
    • God knows our body, get yoked up with God. Lastly, temptation will come, but knowing the way of escape will help us tremendously, if we know what the escape is.
