I think the question is not whether God knows everything that has happened. The real question is “If we have told him something for the 10th time, does he listen as if this is the first time He has heard it?” The answer is a resounding yes to each question. To the latter topic, we do this for our children. Some of us, with little patience, albeit, do it for our aging parents. Why, then, could God not do it for us?

Wow, I had not extended that I idea to my brothers and sisters! I can sometimes get perturbed when people tell me the same story they have shared before. Even when you say, “I remember,” they proceed in telling the story — detail by detail. Maybe I need to start practicing the mind and the heart of God — and listen! 🙂 Oops, and listen with delight and freshness ! (I forgot that part!) Thank you, Abba, for listening to us over and over again!
Blessings Pam!

Anyway, as I was reading that passage from the book, “….and we take great delight in seeing them through your eyes,” I couldn’t help thinking how much fun it is to listen to and watch our children and grandchildren share their experiences. It’s like experiencing the newness and joy of it all over again! I never thought of God listening to us that way before, but I will now.

It’s also a challenge to me to listen with new ears to a brother or sister as they tell me about something wonderful, or maybe not so much, that they have experienced. If I listen with the same wonder and/or passion, who knows what new revelations God will release?

Blessings! Pam
