God is Intimately Involved In Your Life // Rev. Dr. Ed Glover

God has searched him inside and out, knows every detail, knows the good, the bad, and the ugly. That's not only true about David, that's true about every one of us in this room. We're all living our lives under God's microscope. But David goes on to say this, that not only has God searched me, but he knows me. [00:03:24] (17 seconds)  #KnownInsideOut

David understands that God knows him better than he knows himself. And what blows his mind is that this God who knows everything about him desires a relationship with him. And David, being moved by the Holy Spirit, backs up this truth by emphasizing three characteristics of God. That God is all knowing. He's he describes that in in verses two through six. He emphasized God is all present in verses seven through 12. And then in in verses 13 through 18, he tells us that God is all powerful. And because of these three attributes of God, God is intimately involved in our lives because he knows us, he's with us, and he created us. [00:04:31] (43 seconds)  #AllKnowingAllPresentAllPowerful

That's you and me. We're the only ones that can have a personal relationship with God. Listen. The rocks, the trees, the birds, the stars, they are God's creation, but they cannot have personal relationship with God. We're the only creation that God has ever created, again, in his image. Because we're in his image, we're made we're we're mind, we're body, and we're spirit. And because of that, the bible says anybody who calls upon his name, in that moment, we are born again, born again of the spirit. [00:05:59] (35 seconds)  #BornAgainSpirit

What God is saying is that God is all knowing. That means that God does not have to learn. Let me say that again. God is all knowing. That means he does not have to learn. And what that tells us is that we can never surprise God. Nothing you're ever gonna do is ever gonna surprise God because God knows everything. He knows your private, your public times. He knows what you say, what you think before you say it or think it. He he knows where you go or who you go with you, and he knows it completely. [00:07:55] (29 seconds)  #GodKnowsAll

Look look right here. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you've been or what you have done. God knows everything about you and loves you and desires a relationship with you. That's what he wants. You know, when you look at the scriptures, when you think about those truths, it's wonderful to know that God knows everything about you and still wants you.

Listen, the point is this, my friend. God's right hand is always upon you. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. He will never abandon you. And he doesn't blink. He's always always with you. But God not only knows us and he's with us, and that's why he's intimately involved in our lives and wants a relationship with us, but he also is all powerful and he created us.

He knows you. In other words, God created you, but he also chose you. He chose you. He chose you for such a time as this to be alive in this generation. Look. You could have been born in the fourteen hundreds. You could have been born in the eighteen hundreds. But your life sitting in that pew looking up at me right now because God created you and chose you for such a time as this to be alive in this generation. For what purpose ultimately? To have a relationship with him. [00:26:02] (30 seconds)  #ChosenForSuchATime

and now he spends the let rest of his life in a jail. He wrote me a letter. And in the letter, he said, pastor Ed, I wish I would've listened to you about my anger. I wish I could take the eighteen minutes back that I lost my mind, and I did what I did. But I can't do that. But I did hear you when you talked about Jesus Christ, And I gave my life to Jesus. And I'm in this six by six, sell the rest of my life, but I'm more free today than I've ever been in my life. I'm free. I'm forgiven. [00:34:39] (62 seconds)  #ForgivenAndFree
