I like to start off my devotional reading in the morning with Daily Light on the Daily Path. The verses for this morning had to do with the blessing of being known by the Lord.

He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. John 10:3.

The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. II Timothy 2:19.

The LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalm 1:6.

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:16.

The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Nahum 1:7.

But He doesn’t know everyone in that sense.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:22-23.

Does He know you?

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3.

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death. Philippians 3:8-10.

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. I John 5:20.
