God Knows You and Loves You

Notice here that not everything Jacob speaks over his sons is positive. Jacob was keenly aware of his children’s gifts; he identified their strengths and weaknesses and prophetically spoke about future events.

To Dan, Jacob says, "You shall be a serpent in the way, a viper by the path ... I wait for your salvation, oh Lord." His words speak to the coming of Samson, who God raises to judge Dan's family for their overt disobedience and idolatry.

It might make you nervous to know that God knows everything about you. But take heart! Even while he knows every part of your life and thoughts, he still loves you and always has plans for your good.

Question: When was the last time you acknowledged that God knows everything about you and still loves you right where you are?

Prayer: God is actively involved in your daily life. Take a few minutes to talk to him about the things in your life (internal or external) that concern you most.
