Psalm 69:19-21

Psalm 69:19-21ESV

19 You know my reproach,
    and my shame and my dishonor;
    my foes are all known to you.
20 Reproaches have broken my heart,
    so that I am in despair.
I looked for pity, but there was none,
    and for comforters, but I found none.
21 They gave me poison for food,
    and for my thirst they gave me sour wine to drink.

GOD knows everything as David portrays in these few verses.  He knows everything we have done, all the wrongs (and all the rights).  He knows every reason people have to glare, snarl, laugh, or dismiss us.  He knows every enemy and the issues they may or may not have with us.

GOD knows how we feel.  He knows the desperation, the fears, the frustrations.  He knows that so often those who we go to for comfort fail us and let us down, whether intentionally or simply through human nature.

In verse 21 it's so very interesting that David's words could be Christ's words on the cross a thousand years later.  GOD not only knows everything in his all powerful, all knowing ways; Christ also knows through human experience what our trials, fears, and frustrations can be.

Our GOD is not an all knowing, aloof, disinterested deity.  He's been here, He knows through experience and wants to help us!
