Usually we say “it’s who you know that counts” but turn this thought around and consider “it's not about who you know, it's about who knows you that counts.” Why? People remember you because you are both good at what you do, and fun to work with. When your name comes up it immediately sparks positive statements about you. How does this relate to knowing God or being known by God? We know how important it is to know our Lord. Not just knowing about Him but knowing Him as our Risen Lord who has died for us and now lives in us. But Jesus says more than once that what counts in faith is trusting that we are known by God. God remembers us. God makes connections with us. God works to keep our relationship with Him alive and strong. What counts for us to have a faith that rests in God being for us. Read Romans 8 to renew this faith of being known by God but especially verses 26 to 39. Read it until you can say with all the saints throughout history, “I am known by the Living God!”
God reveals deep and hidden things.
Daniel 2:22
Jesus prayed, "Righteous Father, the world does not know you, but I know you, and these know that you have sent me."
John 17:25
Eternal God, your wisdom reveals mysteries in darkness. Forgive my moments of doubt when fear overshadows faith like clouds obscuring the stars. Help me to abide in your truth like a sturdy tree rooted by living waters. Let my life testify to your glory, shining light in the shadows. Amen.
