The thoughts of man

“The Lord knows the thoughts of man; He knows that they are futile.” Psalm 94:11
To know that God knows every single one of our thoughts, is an amazing thing. This truth might comfort us, or it may alarm us. As we read elsewhere in the Scriptures, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight” (Heb. 4:13), and “You perceive my thoughts from afar” (Ps. 139:2). Jesus displayed this attribute while He was ministering on earth (Mark 2:8, Luke 6:8, John 4:25). There’s not much we can do to prevent thoughts entering our minds, but the choice is entirely ours as to whether we entertain them or not. As Christians we are instructed to “take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Cor. 10:5).
People have many thoughts today about God; many of them misguided. Some deny He exists, others think God is an angry old man with a big stick waiting to punish us. But it doesn’t matter to God what people think about Him. He exists whether they think so or not. He is merciful and patient, whether they think so or not. He loves us – whether we think so or not. What we think does not change Who God is.
