From Coach Joe Gibbs Too Much Information? It just cant be good that every credit card swipe we make, every phone call, every movement, it seems, is on somebodys computer somewhere. Were always watchful these days for privacy loss and identity theft, running our opened mail down the shredder to keep any more info about us from leaking out. Its even a little suspicious when the grocery sends us a dollar-off coupon for our favorite brand of ketchup, realizing were only getting this because they know what weve been buying. What people know about us today can hurt us. What they pull up on their screens can start coming out of our bank accounts. When people all over the world can see our driveway on a Google map, youve got to figure were not totally safe from a smart intruder. But even in a context like this, God has no problem admitting he knows your every thought. He knows the number of hairs on your head; knows the hopes and dreams that pulsate in your heart. Hes able to write in the register of the peoples: ‘This one was born in Zion (Psalm 87:6)—in Charlotte, in Denver, in San Antonio. Everywhere youve been, everywhere you go, hes tracking you. But not to hurt you. God uses his knowledge to direct your steps, to bring you growth opportunities, to meet very specific needs, to send you help when youre hurting. The more he knows, the better. The more you trust him, the safer youll be. Pray this prayer: Lord, I know I cant hide anything from you. But I pray youll let me see this as a good thing. Knowing Im constantly on your radar doesnt make me feel watched, just cared for.
