Consider how the Father knows you! In Matthew 10:26-31, He has numbered every hair on our heads, and reminds us that we are more valuable than the simple sparrow, the sparrow that cannot escape the Father's knowledge when it falls to the ground. Yes, friends, we are infinitely more valuable than the simple sparrow!
Jeremiah 1:4-5a records that God knew (intimately, as a husband and wife know each other), even before he was formed in his mother's womb. Deep, husband and wife knowledge...not a passing or cursory knowledge that oh, this person will exist, but genuine knowledge. The numbers of hairs to be on his head, what sets him off, what he will love and despise, what he will gaze upon and call beautiful. God knew this about Jeremiah, and in His infinite wisdom and knowledge, He knows us in the exact same way!
Psalm 139 records that God has searched us and known us, that He knows when we sit and when we rise. Verse 4 says that "Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, You know it altogether." Sometimes, words form on our lips before we even know what we're saying. I know that I'm not the only one that has ever wished for a rewind button in a conversation. A word slips out and you're left thinking, "Where did that come from?" And God knew it, that word that was formed in the blinking of an eye, God still knew it before it was formed! O that we would genuinely consider how the Father knows us!
