Gen. 8:1 opens with three words: "God remembered Noah."
God cannot lie. Check. God cannot change. Check. God cannot be number two. Check. God cannot deny Himself. Check. Let's add one more "limitation." God cannot forget you!
God has perfect knowledge: He knows your name; He knows the situation you're in and how you got there. He also knows the way out, His provision.
Today and forever God remembers you. Take courage. The One who brought you in will bring you through and bring you out.

God Cannot Think
If God were to think, then He wouldn't remain omniscient. (To say God is omniscient means His knowledge is perfect: He knows everything past, present and future.) If God were to think about something, then He wouldn't know it. That would make Him both ignorant and imperfect. The good news is that neither will ever be true about God.
Take comfort in this: There will never be a time when God says, "Let me think about that." He already knows what He's going to do in your situation.

Jesus Sees (Jn. 1:35-51)
We're continuing to read through the Gospel of John. Today's reading is John 1:29-51.
-----
Jesus saw Andrew. Jesus sees those who will respond to the gospel message, "Behold! The Lamb of God!" (Jn. 1:36-37).
Jesus saw Simon. Jesus sees who you can become in Him (Jn. 1:42). Oh, to see as Jesus sees, to fully understand your identity and potential in Christ!
Jesus saw Philip. Jesus sees those who are ready to obey and believe (Jn. 1:43). Philip was from Bethsaida, a place known for its unbelief (Mt. 11:21-22). Environment is no excuse for disbelief. Philip chose to believe; he chose to obey Jesus' call.
Jesus saw Nathanael. Jesus sees who you are when no one else is looking. Congruence between the inside and outside cannot be hidden (Jn. 1:47). What a compliment Jesus gave Nathanael! Character matters.
Jesus sees you. How does that make you feel? He sees what's wrong but will love you away from it. He sees what's right and will encourage you further in it. He sees your hardship and has promised to provide (Phil. 4:19). He sees your weakness and has promised to renew your strength (Isa. 40:31).
