The Wall Street Journal released an article about the NSA’s possible efforts to monitor utility companies in the United States. (article - http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704545004575352983850463108.html) While the I can’t say anything about the impact of this project, it reminds us of how much of our lives can be tracked today. But the greater reality is that all of these attempts by man can never compare to what God knows and see.
David wrote about this in Psalm 139: 1-4 – “O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. 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.” (NIV)
Or consider the Library of Congress’ attempts to capture and archive all of our thoughts on Twitter (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/25/magazine/25privacy-t2.html) They are capturing some of our passing thoughts and mindless comments, but still they can’t compare to the knowledge God has of us.
God knows us, and his plans for us, and loves us deeply. Remember that today!
