He knows everything, doesn’t he also know what you are doing? The Lord knows people’s thoughts; he knows they are worthless. – Psalm 94:10-11(NLT)
A poem and essay by ILMA
What are your thoughts today?
Do you allow God to renew your mind every day?
God knows every thought and action each person does
Do you really think you can hide from his care and love?
He knows our thoughts are worthless
Yet he doesn’t condemn or love us any less
He wants us to be transformed into his likeness
God’s word protects us from evil and darkness.
Have you ever met anyone who can guess what you are thinking every moment? Only God knows everything. So many people sin by assuming or presuming they know people’s thoughts and intentions. Most of us don’t even realize that it is a sin to dwell on theories about someone’s thoughts or guess why people do things. We are not God, so we don’t have the power to read into other people’s minds or intentions. It is an act of pride and arrogance to do so.
The bible tells us that it is only God who knows everything. He knows people’s thoughts which are worthless. That is why he gave us his words to train our thoughts to become pure like his.
PRAYER
Lord, never allow me to presume anything.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God wants us to stop assuming or presuming things?
