On Monday, we looked at how our hearts desires proceed, the come before, what overflows in

our lives, even our mouth simply voices what our hearts have already conceived.

It's a pretty haunting truth that opens up a lot of implications to carefully consider.

But that's a non-issue with God, because before we do or speak anything, he already knows

our thoughts.

Or that's what one listener wants to find out, at least.

Today's question is brief and it comes from a listener named Joan.

Pastor John, can God read our thoughts?

The short answer is yes, but what's really important, as I have thought about this, are

the implications of that answer.

And they are many and really significant.

I doubt that Joan in sending us this question, what did me to give a one more answer and

move on to the next question?

She probably would like to know, why do you say that?

I mean, what's the basis of saying that he knows our thoughts and what difference would

it make in our lives if he does?

So that's what I want to do.

Let's do that.

It's a foundation and then maybe half a dozen or so amazing, I think, implications of that

truth.

Psalm 139, verse 2 and verse 4 and verse 23.

You know, the psalmist is talking to God.
