God truly knows all. But according to an article in The Wall Street Journal, the National Security Agency knows a great deal about as well through our smartphone data trails. Everyone who owns a cell phone creates “metadata” that leaves a “digital trail.” While each individual crumb of data might seem insignificant, when it’s combined and analyzed, it provides “one of the most powerful investigative tools ever devised.” By tracing our metadata, investigators can pinpoint where we’ve been or where we are at this moment.

Far more superior than the NSA’s digital trail, David said God knows where we are in relation to Him. In Psalm 139, he addressed a prayer to God, the One who alone can search and examine what’s going on inside of us (v. 1). David wrote, “Search me, God, and know my heart” (v. 23). He knows everything about us (vv. 2–6), is present everywhere (vv. 7–12), and “created [our] inmost being” (vv. 13–16). His thoughts are higher than our human understanding (vv. 17–18), and He’s even with us as we face our enemies (vv. 19–22).  

Because God is all-knowing, ever-present, and all-powerful, he knows exactly where we’ve been, what we’ve been doing, and what we’re made of. But He’s also a loving Father who will help us walk in His ways. Let’s follow Him down the trail of life today.

Hello, I'm Matt Lucas, President of Our Daily Bread Ministries. We're so thankful to be a part of your regular devotions as you spend time in God's Word by listening to and reading Our Daily Bread. As a regular listener, you're accustomed to the devotion being read first and then the scripture reading. Many of you, however, have expressed a desire to hear the scripture reading first. We've heard you, and with this new year, we're introducing an updated edition of the audio that begins with the scripture reading. You'll also notice some additional elements that we hope will encourage a deeper engagement with scripture helping you to grow closer to Jesus. And as you listen, you can know that millions of people are reading, reflecting, and responding to scripture with you every single day. Thank you for being a part of this mission to make the life-changing wisdom of the Bible understandable and accessible to all.

Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. You know when I sit and when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down. You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in, behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me. Your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you.

The night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. God Knows Everything, written by Marvin Williams God truly knows all, but according to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the National Security Agency knows a great deal about us as well through our smartphone data trails. Everyone who owns a cell phone creates metadata that leaves a digital trail. While each individual crumb of data might seem insignificant, when it's combined and analyzed, it provides one of the most powerful investigative tools ever devised.

By tracing our metadata, investigators can pinpoint where we've been or where we are at at any given moment. Far more superior than the NSA's digital trail analysis, David said God knows where we are in relation to Him. In Psalm 139, he addresses a prayer to God, the one who alone can search and examine what's going on inside of us. The psalmist wrote, Search me God, and know my heart. He knows everything about us, is present everywhere, and created our inmost being. His thoughts are higher than our human understanding, and He's even with us as we face our enemies.

Because God is all-knowing, ever-present, and all-powerful, He knows exactly where we've been, what we've been doing, and what we're made of. But He's also a loving Father who will help us walk in His ways. So, let's follow Him down the trail of life today.

Let's pray. Heavenly Father, thank You for knowing every detail of our lives and for guiding us with Your loving care. Would You give us hope and trust in Your wisdom today so that we can walk faithfully in Your ways each day? Thank You, Lord. It's in Jesus' name that we pray. Amen. As you go about your day, reflect on these questions. How does it encourage you to know that God truly knows you? How are you walking with Him?
