This flower-filled table is a photo we took at the Philadelphia Flower Show. There's no spare room for the food, but then this wasn't a food show, after all! A requirement of the Philadelphia Flower Show organizers is that all flowers and plants be real!
"Known
by God"
Message
summary: "The Lord knows those who are
His". A wonderful source of assurance is God’s
knowledge of each one of us, a truth taught abundantly
throughout Scripture.
“The Lord knows those who
are His” (2 Timothy 2:19).
A part of managing an email list like Daily Encouragement is examining an undeliverable report. This is a report of email addresses to the daily list that bounced back or were otherwise undeliverable.*

I noticed a bounced email
from a subscriber’s email address that struck me in a very
special way. It was the address of a friend who had
passed away several weeks earlier. The error message that
came with the bounce said, "User Unknown". Apparently after
this person's death a family member had cancelled the email
address and thus I received the "User Unknown" message.
Well, this user may be unknown to the ISP’s server, but he is most certainly known to God. The daily Scripture portion is a great comfort, especially in trying times. You can easily memorize it and hide it deeply in your heart, "The Lord knows those who are His".
A wonderful source of assurance is God’s knowledge of each one of us, a truth taught abundantly throughout Scripture. The Word of God to Jeremiah the prophet is surely true for each one of us, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you” (Jeremiah 1:5). God’s knowledge is so extensive it includes our pre-birth state!
The Psalmist wrote, “You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O LORD” (Psalm 139:2-4). Surely we proclaim with the Psalmist, “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain” (Psalm 139:6).
Indeed, “the Lord knows those who are His". Today I want to encourage each reader to find a wonderful assurance in this Scripture portion. Have you committed your life to Jesus Christ and received God’s only provision for your sin problem? If so you belong to Jesus and as you face the inevitable challenges of life today remember this truth, “The Lord knows those who are His!”

He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call
Be encouraged today, (Hebrews 3:13)

Daily
prayer: Father, though others may
overlook my significance You are
familiar with all my ways. You
know the very thoughts that run through
my mind and the words that I speak even
before I utter them. You know me
from inside out and yet You love me and
call me Your very own. That You
would love a sinner such as I and redeem
me from the pit is too marvelous for
words. I humbly and gratefully
acknowledge Your goodness and give
thanks for Your unfailing love that
lifts me from the dark pit of despair
and transfers me into Your bright
kingdom of light. Amen.*
Tech note: The reason examining
the undeliverable report is important is
that I can see trends regarding any
ISP’s that may be filtering our messages
and I can contact our listserve manager
to deal with the block. Of course an
individual address that is unknown due
to changing ISP’s, leaving a company or
even death also shows up. In order to
keep the list clean these addresses are
removed.

As we
prayed together prior to recording our
message today we again prayed for
Ukraine and the worsening situation
over there. It's hard to believe such
utter barbarism happening in 2022. We
are asking God to confound the Russian
commanders and army as He did in some
of the OT battles. We are praying that
he would remove evil Putin from the
scene and restore sanity to that
country's leadership.
This
song came to mind and I especially
consider the words, that I need to
"Remember that You’re God and I am
not".
I
know You’re good
But this don’t feel good right now
And I know You think
Of things I could never think about
It’s hard to count it all joy
Distracted by the noise
Just trying to make sense
Of all Your promises
Sometimes I gotta stop
Remember that You’re God
And I am not
So
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Like a child on my knees all that comes to me is
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will
But this don’t feel good right now
And I know You think
Of things I could never think about
It’s hard to count it all joy
Distracted by the noise
Just trying to make sense
Of all Your promises
Sometimes I gotta stop
Remember that You’re God
And I am not
So
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Like a child on my knees all that comes to me is
Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will
I
know You see me
I know You hear me, Lord
Your plans are for me
Goodness You have in store
I know You hear me, Lord
Your plans are for me
Goodness You have in store
"Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will
dwell in the house of the Lord for
ever" (Psalm 23:6)
