How can we live blamelessly, knowing God "knows the days" of the righteous? Scripture Focus “The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their inheritance will last forever.” (Psalm 37:18) What It Means That God Knows Our Days • “Knows” is intimate, personal knowledge—like Psalm 139:16, “Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.” • “Days” includes every sunrise, every decision, every secret motive (Hebrews 4:13). • Because He already sees the full span, His promises are never in jeopardy; our “inheritance will last forever.” That certainty frees us to live differently right now. Living Blamelessly in Light of His Knowledge 1. Confidence, not anxiety • Matthew 6:32-33—He knows what we need; seek His kingdom first. 2. Integrity in hidden places • Job 23:10—“He knows the way I take; when He has tried me, I will come forth as gold.” 3. Endurance when wronged • 1 Peter 2:19-20—remaining conscious of God while suffering unjustly. 4. Hopeful anticipation • 2 Peter 3:14—“Make every effort to be found at peace, spotless and blameless in His sight.” Practical Steps Toward Blameless Living • Guard the heart daily (Proverbs 4:23). • Filter words before they leave the mouth (Ephesians 4:29). • Keep short accounts with God—confess quickly (1 John 1:7-9). • Choose companions who pursue righteousness (Proverbs 13:20). • Practice generosity and justice (Micah 6:8; 2 Corinthians 9:7). • Order time wisely, remembering each day is counted (Psalm 90:12). • Fix eyes on Jesus, the model of blamelessness (Hebrews 12:1-2). Encouragement for Today God’s foreknowledge of every one of our days is not a spotlight to shame us but a shelter to steady us. He already sees the finished picture—us “holy and blameless in His presence” (Colossians 1:22). Walk forward with that assurance, and let tomorrow’s promised inheritance fuel today’s blameless living. |
