A Christmas Devotional About how God knows you: Matthew 1:20 �and said, �Joseph son of David� (NIV) God was personally involved in the life of Mary and Joseph. In the same way, perhaps not as dramatically, God is also personally involved in your life. In remarkable and stunning fashion God walks with us every second. However, we sometimes seem to not know anything about Him or about His personal interactions with us. We know the powers of darkness, evil, deceit, and temptation work overtime to separate us from Christ. What we must continually remind ourselves about is the desire of God to be our personal God, our personal friend, and our personal guide throughout our life. God does not just know us like other people know us. God knows everything about us, even things we do not know about our life or ourselves. What is striking is how even when God knows the very worst things about us, He still loves us, forgives us, and seeks to be our friend. Even when God knows the very worst things about us, He still calls us to come to His manger, kneel down, and look into the little eyes of His precious Son. We do not often think enough about the magnificence of God. We do not often think enough about how God calls every mugger, thief, murderer, terrorist, liar, cheat, and scoundrel to the side of His precious Son resting in the hay. In truth, all of us, every human being, no matter how reverent or irreverent, is called by God to kneel down and worship His only child. |
