Day 14 — God Knows Your Days

Psalm 37:18–19, The Lord knows the days of the upright, And their inheritance shall be forever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

Key Thought: God pays attention to you

Prayer: Teach me to trust You every day, regardless of the circumstances.

“The LORD knows the days of the upright”
God cares for you, is overseeing you, and is not missing any details. We think of days in terms of calendar dates, special events, and conditions. God sees our days over the entire span of life. God sees days as seasons, including seasons of ease and seasons of hardship.

“Their inheritance shall be forever”
The Lord sees seasons because He is a generational God. The Lord was thinking about you when your great-grandparents were in the prime of their lives. Not many of us had the opportunity to know our great-grandparents, but what God put in them was also an inheritance for you. And what God is putting in you will be an inheritance for your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and people with whom you relate over the course of your life.

Sometimes circumstances can make you feel insignificant, but we are all here by God’s design and purpose. That’s why your days are very important – it’s not about a feeling. God knows your days.

Part of our inheritance is not simply material things that are handed down to us from family members. Most of our ancestors did not have the material possessions that we have today. Many had something much greater: They had faith in God, integrity, talents, and the will to overcome and succeed.

The most significant inheritance is the virtues we have from the Lord that we can leave for others. God Himself is our ultimate inheritance.

“And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.”
Famine is extreme scarcity, whether material or spiritual. Amos 8:11 reads, When I will send a famine throughout the land, not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but rather a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

The present famine of “hearing the words of the Lord” leaves a void that material things cannot fulfill. We cannot overemphasize the importance of receiving the Word of God, being a doer of the Word, and recognizing that Jesus is the Word.

Because the inheritance is forever, we always overcome famine—whether material or spiritual—because, as Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)

Reflection question: What are some specific ways you are aware that God knows your days?
