November 28, 2009 ~ He Understands

God is a friend who really understands you...

Today's Scripture:

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.

Psalm 147:5

Friends, moms, and God all tend to have something in common: they understand. Think of a person in your life who is a good friend. You have probably spent hours together and shared many experience. As a result, you understand each other. The more you communicate, the more you understand each other's perspective and understand where the other person is coming from. You may not always agree with your friend's choices, but you probably understand why they made them.

The same may be true if you have children or are around them. If you watch children to figure out what makes them tick, what motivates them, you'll better understand the reasons why they do some of the thing they do. For instance, when you realize your child is afraid of monsters under the bed, you have a little more patience and understanding when he or she doesn't want to sleep in their room alone.

Selah people' and friends one of the most glorious facts about having a relationship with God is the realization that he understands your deepest desires and hopes. He realizes the temptations you face. He knows how hard you try. God knows everything about you, good and bad, and loves you thoroughly. Because he understands you so well, you can trust him and turn to him at any time.

"Never hesitate to turn to God in your joy, or in your challenges. He understands your motivations, your struggles, and your faith."

Your pastor,

Rev Patrick Muston
