“And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.” (Romans 8:27)

It’s so amazing that the Spirit keeps us connected to God. That even when we can’t find the right words—God knows how we feel and what we want to say. He knows us better than anyone. Even better than we know ourselves.

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.” (Jeremiah 1:5)

The Spirit is what guides us. It knows what’s right and leads us to that in our hearts. He knows what’s in our hearts more than we do.

“But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)

"As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.” (1 Chronicles 28:9)

God will always know our motives and innermost thoughts. Thankfully, even when the enemy tries to put intrusive thoughts in our minds to wage war against us—GOD knows us deeper than surface, passing (intrusive) thoughts.

Have you ever felt small—that no one cares about you and you feel helpless? That nothing you do seems to turn out right?

I’ve had days like this and I’m sure we’ve all felt this way at some point in our lives. It’s normal to feel lost and unsure. To be sad because things you plan are currently unknown. It’s scary. But when we look back in The Scriptures, a lot of people have felt this emotional distress at one point or another in their lives. Take Job for example, he did everything right and still all he had was taken away. But Job did the right thing, He turned to God.

He took his complaints and frustrations to Him. He questioned God. A lot. And quite boldly! I’m always scared to talk to God the way Job did. Though he never offended or ridiculed or even blamed God. He just questioned Him and everything He does.

And one question of his in particular got my attention...

“Why are human beings so important to you? Why pay attention to what they do? You inspect them every morning and test them every minute.” ‭‭(Job‬ ‭7:17-18‬)

Job literally asked God: ‘why do you care about us?’

When God [finally] answers Job, He reminds him who it is he’s talking to. God reminds Job how great HE is. He goes on to remind him of all the great things He’s done. He reminds him He created the earth. Him and Him alone.

Out of all His Creation, we’re the only ones who question everything—question Him. We of all creatures are the ones who question why He made us. Why He cares for us but we shouldn’t be! There are a ton of verses in the Bible that remind us to NOT WORRY and leave it all in God’s Hands!

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” (1 Peter 5:7)

“what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” (Psalm 8:4)
