Good Morning! 2010.06.15 - Psalm 139:4 - God Knows Everything I say

Good Morning!

 

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou

 

knowest it altogether.  (Psalm 139:4)

 

The Bible uses "tongue" 126 times. Sometimes it is a good use of the tongue and sometimes it is evil and hurtful. Consider this beautiful use of tongue:

 

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.  (Proverbs 25:11)

 

In contrast to the beauty of words, James reminds us: …the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.  (James 3:6)

 

Paul encountered some people who used their tongues in a very destructive way: Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:  (Romans 3:13-14)

 

Not only does God know every word that comes from our tongue, the writer of Hebrews added this thought to what God knows about us: Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.  (Hebrews 4:13)

The psalmist summarized some people of his day who seem to be like the people of our day: Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?  (Psalm 12:4)

 

We can easily get the idea that God is nowhere around and that He does not know, does not care about much of anything in our lives. We are on our own. ButJesus reminded us that … the very hairs of your head are all numbered (Matthew 10:30).  God keeps track of our words and the hairs of our head.

 

Abraham's  wife, Sarah,  got fed up with Hagar, the concubine living in her house. Sarah was instrumental in getting Hagar thrown out of the house. Hagar was having a tough time. Even though she had been living in the home of Abraham, she knew little about God. When she and her son, Ishmael, ran out of water, she separated herself from Ishmael and said "Let me not see the death of the child "(Genesis 21:16).

And she [Hagar] called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?  (Genesis 16:13)

 

We cannot conceal anything from God. He already knows everything about you. Why not just sit down and have a long talk with Him and confess everything that you know is not right with Him? One of the most encouraging things I know for sure is that God has said:

Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13) Ω
