Want Him to Read Your Mind? Yada, Yada, Yada
Do you wish your partner could read your mind?
Do you really want someone to know everything about you?
God knows. Does that make you uncomfortable?
Let’s look at the Hebrew word “yada” (to know) to discover why being known by God is actually a good thing, and why knowing God brings freedom, not fear.

I’m writing today at Do Not Depart for our #OTHebrewWords series.
Will you join me there—yada, yada, yada?

Awesome, informative post!! As a new believer, I used to feel extremely uncomfortable with the thought of God knowing EVERYTHING about me. I cringed at the thought of Him knowing all the things I had done. Now, I see the beauty in Him knowing. When we allow Him to “uncover” those hidden areas, His sufficient grace “covers” them – for good! There is absolute freedom in that!
Yes! That was my journey too, Esther. It took awhile to realize that his omniscience is a GOOD thing, not a fearful thing. But once I got it, I did find much freedom and peace in it. Thanks for sharing these thoughts.
I did not know there was an actual meaning behind yada yada. I love learning new things and I don’t mind being known by God at all!
This is for sure: we’ll never run out of new things to learn! I love learning too. I suppose God doesn’t get that feeling since he knows everything already? 🙂
Looking forward to reading the rest!

When I think about it, I’m relieved He knows what I’m thinking because I don’t have to explain or defend why I’m thinking the way I am. He understands I’m sinful and my thoughts will reflect this.
Great post and I’m clicking over!
