All Things: Are Known By God

Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

Psalm 139:4 (ESV)

He knows everything.

1 John 3:20 (ESV)

His understanding is beyond measure.

Psalm 147:5 (ESV)

For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.

Luke 8:17 (NKJV)

70+ years ago, George Orwell wrote the Sci-Fi hit, 1984: a best-selling, futuristic novel.

  • The setting? A not-so-kind government constantly tracks all of its citizens. 

  • Alarming warnings loom on giant screens, with these words: “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.”

Fast forward to the world we’re in today:

  • Satellites, car chips, cameras, and phones can track all of our physical movements. 

  • “Brainy” software on internet searches can track our friends, lifestyles, and purchases.

A case can be made: Big Brother is here! Honestly, I’m not worried about it. Why? I’m an open book. I have no secrets. But immeasurably more important–

A Big Father is watching over me…

  • Watching my steps and going before me,

  • Knowing my history, hopes, dreams, and plans,

  • Providing a no-fail Instruction Book,

  • Answering every question I ask,

  • Guiding me with His Own Holy Spirit,

  • Waiting patiently when I fall behind,

  • Correcting me (gently) when I “wander”,

  • Keeping me safe and never leaving me,

  • Inspiring me to dream big and go far,

  • Cheering every positive thing I do,

  • Meeting me One-on-one in prayer time,

  • Blessing me in more ways than I can count,

  • Sending His Son to teach me how to love,

  • Helping me clean up all of my messes,

  • Forgiving my sins, again and again,

  • Holding me close in all of my trials,

  • Comforting me and restoring my peace,

  • Showing me glorious signs and wonders,

  • Seeing me as a perfect creation,

  • Helping me see others in the same way,

  • Preparing a place for me in Heaven.

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

For better (and worse), you're ALWAYS on stage. The best you can do for God and for men?

  1. Remember God is the One to please first!

  2. God AND MEN respect authenticity, so…

  3. Hide nothing, because all things become known!

All Things: Are Known By God (Part 5)

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
