On the FlightAware website, Kathy checked the progress of the small plane her husband Charles was piloting to Chicago, America. With a few clicks, she could track when he took off, where his flight was at any moment and exactly when he would land. A few decades earlier when Charles was a pilot in West Africa, Kathy’s only contact had been a high-frequency radio. She recalls one occasion when 3 days had passed before she was able to reach him. She had no way of knowing that he was safe, but unable to fly because the aeroplane had been damaged.

But God was always aware of exactly where Charles was and what he was doing, just as He is with us (Job 34:21). Nothing is hidden from His sight (Heb. 4:13). He knows our thoughts and our words (1 Chron. 28:9; Ps. 139:4). And He knows what will happen in the future (Isa. 46:10).

God knows everything (1 John 3:20), and He knows you and me personally (Ps. 139:1-10). He is aware of each temptation, each argument, each illness, each worry and each problem we face.

What a comfort to experience care from the One who knows everything. “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!” (Rom. 11:33).
