My God Doesn't Know

As I sat down at the computer I prayed, "Help, Holy Spirit!   I need to know the heart of Jesus.  What is on Your heart today to share with Your precious ladies?"  I looked through papers on my desk, and found the lyrics of a lovely song I heard years ago written by Mark Lowrey. It has been years ago that I heard it, but it meant so much to me I transcribed the words.  For those of you who do not recognize his name, Mark's a comedian and singer with the Gaither Vocal Band. He is very funny who makes fun of himself as an extremely hyperactive child, and what a trial he was to his mother. I will quote the song:

God Just Doesn't Know

Mark Lowrey

Mama always told me: "God knows everything."

He hung the stars and knows them all by name,

But now that I am older, and I've grown to love Him so,

I found that there are some things even God just doesn't know - 

God doesn't know a sinner He can't love,

A broken heart He can't mend,

A fallen tear He can't dry.

God doesn't know a place where He can't be,

In a moment's time, to meet your every need.

There are some things my God just doesn't know.

He knows every thought I'm thinking before I say a word.

He knows the pain before a prayer is heard.

He's a Father to the orphan, He hears the widow's cry.

He even knows the answers before we can ask Him why.

But God doesn't know a sinner He can't love,

A broken heart He can't mend,

A fallen tear He can't dry,

And God doesn't know a place where He can't be

In a moment's time to meet your every need.

There are some things God just doesn't know.

There are some things my God just doesn't know.

When I began to quote this, I was going to quote only a portion of it, but it was too beautiful to omit a portion. As you all know, this has been a difficult month for us, as we heard of the tragedies of the Boston Massacre, the terrible explosion and fires at West, Texas, the murder trial of Dr. Gosnell killing live babies and causing the deaths of women with abortions gone bad, and many other sad news reports. One morning I awoke to reports of these tragedies in our nation, and a song came on the radio shortly afterward.  Some of the lyrics really spoke to my heart.   I wonder if you sometimes agree --

"All I know is I'm not home yet.  

This is not where I belong. 

Take this world and give me Jesus. 

This is NOT where I belong. 

This is NOT where I belong...."

As we see our world changing before our eyes, more and more we see the words spoken by Jesus in Matthew 24:37 coming true in our world, "But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."  We see such evils in the world, from the terrorists, abortionists, and spirit of lawlessness that abounds around us.  I cannot help but wonder how much longer our Blessed Lord will be patient with His  people and the beautiful earth He created and choose to return for those who love and serve Him.   I cannot help but call out "Maranatha, Come Lord Jesus, Come!"   Meanwhile, we must continue to pray for many others who have not yet called out to the Lord Jesus so they too may be saved before that glorious day for His own, but a tragic time of judgment for those who are not under the covering of our Almighty Father.  

Let's continue to pray for all those still outside of God's umbrella of safety, to choose to ask Jesus into their hearts for a personal relationship with Him.  He is our only refuge in the storms that may yet come upon the earth before His return.  

My love and prayers for all of you,    Dee
