One thing that surprises us the most is the knowledge of God about each and every one of us. When we undergo moments of struggle, we wonder whether God knows us or sees what we are going through. But this incident of Jesus’ meeting with Nathanael reveals the definite knowing of God regarding everything about us: “When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, ‘Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.’ ‘How do you know me?’ Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, ‘I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.’” (Jn 1:47-48). May we be comforted by this mystery of His knowing everything about us, and let’s trust in His blessing hands, that would be extended to us when we need His support.

Abba, thank You so much for watching over us and protecting us. Let Your Spirit make us feel safe and secure under Your blessed observance, in Jesus’ most powerful Name, Amen
