God Keeps Records
Many people believe God has gone off somewhere and is ignoring His creation or just doesn’t care anymore. People don’t stop to realize that they have gone astray and are ignoring their Creator by doing their own thing. They don’t really care whether there is a God or not.
Does God know your every thought? Does He see all that you do? Do you get away with anything? Does He keep track of all these things in a book of remembrance (Mal. 3:16)?
The Bible says God has a book of life (Psalm 69:28; Rev. 20:12). It is a book that God Himself has written (Ex. 32:32). Whoever sins against God will be blotted out of that book (Ex. 32:33). Every description of your body and its inward parts are in that book (Psalm 139:13, 16). The very hairs of your head are numbered (Matt. 10:30). The thoughts you think are all recorded (Psalm 94:11; Job 34:21; Prov. 5:21; Jer. 16:17).
God is continually giving to each of us according to what we do (Jer. 17:10; 32:19; Rev. 2:23). He sees every living person when He looks from heaven (Psalm 33:13). He loves those who practice righteousness and glorify Him daily by doing good (Matt. 5:16; Psalm 106:3; 34:15-17).
God is continually ruling over mankind (Dan. 4:15-17). Scripture tells us those who think God doesn’t always see or hear them are considered senseless and stupid by the Lord (Psalm 94:8-9).
It’s time we begin to live to please God instead of continuing to live to please self. Time is running out on mankind, but to those who live to serve God, time is endless. They shall endure forever (Rev. 2:7; 1 John 2:17).
