Being misunderstood can be a hard thing. Especially if you have a temperament like mine with a tendency to ruminate on what people think about you etc. But it is good at such times to know about a faithful, unchanging, unfailing God 'In whom there is no variation or shadow of turning'. It is good to know that such a God is just and true and truly vindicates and who is intimately concerned with all our affairs. For as Psalm 139 states 'before a word is on my lips you know it completely, O Lord'.

Psalm 139 can be scary but it is also immensely reassuring because it points to a God who knows the very worst intention of our heart but still loves us passionately with an everlasting love. A God who holds the whole world indeed the whole universe in the palm of his hands but still numbers the hairs on our head! Even though many, many, laugh and scoff at such a notion and even though this may deeply concern us. We can still comfort ourselves with the fact that 'no eye has seen, nor ear has heard nor has it entered into the heart of any man what God has prepared for those who love him'. The fact remains that it hasn't even entered any heart so the full comfort of the notion remains unreachable in this life. But we can still be reassured that 'underneath are the everlasting arms' and that 'nothing', (nothing,) can seperate us from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ our Lord' - Romans 8.
