As you begin the New Year, if you are feeling like you are living in the land of the unknown, this post is for you.
Recently, I have continually been hearing a phrase in my head:
God knows.
Once I realized I was hearing this phrase repeatedly it seemed like I would hear it even more. It’s surprising how many times people actually say “God knows.” Then I Googled the phrase. There are over 893,000,000 entries posted for these words! That’s A LOT!
I pondered and searched the Bible, “What exactly does God know?”
He knows my suffering (Exodus 3:7)
He knows my every tear (Psalm 56:8)
He knows my temptations (Hebrews 4:15)
He knows my anxious thoughts (Psalm 139:23)
But I also discovered He knows
My circumstances (Genesis 16:13)
My future (Jeremiah 29:11)
My value to Him (Isaiah 43:4)
And then I learned He also knows
My joys (Psalm 37:4)
My victories (little and big) (Judges 4:9)
My hopes and dreams (Psalm 37:14)
The Bible is clear, “God knows everything” (1 John 3:20).
And that is why this post is for you. If God knows everything, that means He knows YOU! You can be assured that even though you may not know what the outcome of this year will be, you can trust this:
Nothing will happen in your life that is out of His reach (Matthew 18:14)
No one will love you more than He (John 13:1)
No place is too far for Him to find you (Luke 15:20)
Entering 2024 you may feel like there are a lot of unknowns. But there is one thing about you and your life you can know: God knows.
Dear Susan,
With SO much uncertainty in our daily lives, God gave you The BEST message of reassurance & encouragement for me. I’m passing it on to friends & family. God Bless You and your family in 2024
I have struggled to come up with my word or phrase for 2024. Some seem to small minded, others seem to self centered or if they are good I can’t narrow them down to less than 5 different words or phrases. But “God Knows” covers it all. I still don’t have a clue what my word or phrase will be, but He is Bigger and Better than I can fathom and that’s a pretty good start. Thank you for sharing your words with us.
Dear Susan, my family was hit with tragedy after tragedy in this past year but in retrospect, there were also so many blessings. God knows we need to focus more on the good than the bad. Thank you for this beautiful message!

Clear and simple reminders to boost and encourage our trust in our Holy Spirit whispers, that support that our Sovereign Father “HE Knows” when the coming of Yeshua our Messiah King will be!! Until then may we be about HIS business in all our relationships and circumstances!
May HIS peace and joy be evidence of our abiding trust that HE Knows!!
