You Have Known Me

A verse in 1 Corinthians 13 both thrills my heart and brings a little bit of fear to my soul. The verse is 1 Corinthians 13:12. "For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known." We will one day grasp the glorious realities about our Savior we can see only as a reflection in His Word. We will someday see Him face to face. Knowing Him fully will be a joy, but being known fully is a little disquieting.

No doubt with a little bit of both joy and fear David wrote Psalm 139. We do not know the occasion of this Psalm. Whatever it was, it was a time in which David became painfully and yet joyfully aware of how the LORD knew Him! So, in the first stanza of his hymn of praise to the Lord, David wrote describing the wonder of God's omniscience.
