Guide’s Comments
We are studying the Bible because we want to know God. We want to
find out if God really knows us. Notice the title of our lesson—Does
God Know Me? How would you explain the difference between us knowing
God and God knowing us? . . . . .
For us to really know God, He must reveal
Himself to us. Our experience of knowing God comes through our willingness
to believe and obey what He reveals to us in His Word. We have had
several lessons discussing how God has revealed Himself to us, so
we know He wants us to know Him.
The secret of knowing God in a life-changing
way is to ask ourselves if we really believe Him. When He says He
wants us to know Him in a personal way, do we believe He means it?
What a profound difference it makes in our lives when we ask God
to reveal who He really is and when we begin to get a glimpse of
His unmeasurable power and glory!
God knows more about us than we know about
ourselves or anyone else knows about us. God doesn’t have
to learn about us. He knew us before time began! He knew us before
we were born. He already had a perfect plan for our lives. God has
always known us. When you studied your lesson, you read Psalm 139.
It tells us in many ways that God knew us before we were born. He
knows everything about us.
Turn to Lesson 4 in your Study Book. Our
Bible readings for the week prove that God knows us.

God loves each one of us as
individuals and has a special purpose and plan foreach person.
Read, Psalm 100:3 . . .
. . God created us. God wants to bless us with spiritual blessings.
He wants to have fellowship with us. The Bible confirms the fact
that God loves us, He knows all about us, and He wants us to know
His plan for our lives.

Why do we pray if God already knows what
we are going to ask? Because God wants us to talk to Him.
Prayer is an activity that shows God we are
depending on Him to supply our needs. His answer renews our confidence
that God hears and answers our prayers.
Sometimes the answer is “yes”—and
sometimes we may learn later that God started to answer before we
prayed! Other times the answer is “wait.” We, or the
situation, may not be ready for the abundant answer God wants to
give us. Sometimes God’s answer is “no,” because
a positive answer would hinder the work He is doing in our lives.
Not only do believers have the tremendous
resource of prayer, but they have the security of knowing that nothing
can separate them from God’s steadfast love. Romans 8:28-39
tells us about the stability we have in Christ. . . . . Perhaps
you would like to make a note of the reference so you can read it
again.
God can do nothing that is contrary to His
own perfect nature. We do not need to fear what God has planned
for our lives. Since He is holy, knows all things, is perfectly
just, and loves with perfect, unchanging love, we know that God
always wants the best for His children.
His discipline, correction, judgment, and
wrath are all balanced by His love, mercy, and grace. God is perfect
and all that He does is right and flawless. We can be assured that
God will not ask us to experience something unless it is for our
own good. We can trust Him to do what is best for us.
| 7. Kuti mumudziwe Mulungu bwino,
pezani lonjezano lake mundime zamchipangano chakale zotsatirazi
zomwe ziri kumapeto kwa phunziro liri lonse.
Masalimo 37:4-5. . . .
(When you commit, trust, and delight yourself in Him, He will
give you your heart’s desires.)
Miyambo 3:5-6. . . .
(Submit to Him in all your ways and He will guide you.)
Yeremiya 29:13. . . . .
(When we wholeheartedly search for God, we will find Him.)
8. Lingalirani za mtsogolo za moyo wanu. Kodi malonjezanowa
angakhudze bwanji za kukonzekera tsogolo lanu?
|
If no one answers, share how these promises
can be implemented in your life.
| 9. Kodi Mulungu ali
ndi cholinga chanji ndi tsogolo lanu?
Werengani Yeremiya 29:11…..(Plans
for our good and a future full of hope.) |
God always expresses Himself in perfect love.
Do not doubt His love. We can know that His plan is always best!
| 10. Pakuti Mulungu amakudziwani
monga munthu. Iye wasonyeza chikondi chake pa inu ndipo wakupangirani
zinthu za kuti inuyo panokha simunakatha kupanga.
Molingana ndi Aroma 5:6-9, kodi Mulungu
anakupangirani chiyani? . . . . (He
took care of our sin problem and has saved us from God’s
anger against sin and those who disobey Him.)
11. Pamene tikapereka miyoyo yathu kwa Mulungu Wamphamvuyonse,
ndi chifukwa chiyani tiyenera kukhulupilira kotheratu kuti
tiri otetezeka?
Werengani Masalimo 147:5. . . .
(God knows what is best for us and He has the power to keep
us safe. He sees danger that we cannot see.) |
Since these prayers might be personal,
it is not necessary for them to share.
| 12. Lembani pemphero kwa Mulungu,
kufotokoza mwa chiyamiko kuti Iye ndi Mulungu odziwa zonse.
Pempheroli simufunsidwa kugawana ndi anzanu pophunzitsana
Baibulo. Lembani pemphero lanulo panopo.

Next week’s lesson is of extreme importance.
We will learn who can know God in this vital way we have been talking
about.
We will close in prayer, thanking God for
His unchanging love.
Closing Prayer
Heavenly Father, how we thank You that You know all about us and
You still love us. Thank You for the perfect plan You have for our
lives. Help us make the things we have learned a part of our daily
living. We pray in Jesus’ name, amen.
