Max Lucado Devotional 25th January 2024: God Knows You and Is Near You
READ TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 25 JANUARY 2024 BY MAX LUCADO
TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE: Christ takes away your sin, and in doing so, he takes away your commonness. You know longer need to say, “No one knows me.” Because God knows you. “Lord, you…know all about me,” David discovered. “You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know my thoughts before I think them. You know where I go and where I lie down. You know everything I do…You are all around me…and have put your hand on me” (Psalm 139:1-3, 5 NCV).
God knows you, and he is near you. See how these four words look taped to your bathroom mirror: “God is for me” (Psalm 56:9). And his kingdom needs you to discover and deploy your unique skill. The poor need you; the lonely need you; the church needs you; the cause of God needs you. Get the word out – God is with us; we are not alone!
