Just a Prayer Away by David Jeremiah

Wednesday, August 22 Just a Prayer Away    And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.  Hebrews 4:13    An idea that we now take for granted used to be the stuff of science fiction. Technology now allows us to track the movements of cars, phones, and people with digital devices. We can pull up maps to that effect on our computer screens. This is not actually omniscience since there are limits.

Recommended Reading: Matthew 6:5-8

True omniscience is one of God’s attributes; because He is love, His exhaustive knowledge is used for our benefit. The psalmist David wrote eloquently about God’s all-knowing awareness of his life (Psalm 139:2-11). The phrase “misery loves company” comes to mind: When we are suffering, the knowledge that God knows about our pain is comforting. He is with us (Hebrews 13:5) and, even before we tell or ask Him, He knows what we need (Matthew 6:8). Whether in good times or bad, God is with us, never more than a prayer away. Are you standing on troubled ground today? Be assured that you do not stand alone. God is with you always, “even to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).  God has never promised to solve our problems. He has promised to go with us.  Elisabeth Elliot
