Sometimes as we walk through life with our thoughts and ideas, our concerns and emotions, and our feelings and fears we can think that no one else know what is going on inside our heads. When the thoughts are wrong and sinful we think we can “get away with it” since no one knows. When we have fearful thoughts we can think that we are dealing with it by ourselves and be afraid.
There is a wonderful truth that can be both challenging and encouraging at the same time. Jesus knows what is in men. He knows what is going on. It is an application of Psalm 139 to Jesus. There we learn that God has searched us out and He knows. It is even more obvious to us to day because when we accept Christ as Saviour He comes to live in us. He knows exactly what is going on inside our heads.
Convicting? Of course, if our thoughts are wrong. But how comforting when we feel alone and afraid that know that He knows all about it and will carry us through.
