It’s good to be in the house of the Lord. We love you so much. You may be seated. 7 billion people are estimated to be on this planet. Can you believe that? 7 billion people. With 7 billion people, there’s probably a lot of problems in the world. probably a lot of issues going on.
You know, I just want to tell you today, there may be seven billion people on this earth, but I want you to know you are up close and personal with God today. Don’t feel like you’re alone. Don’t feel like that he does not know where you are and what is going on in your life because the Bible tells us that he’s counted every hair on your head. Job said this, “He knows everywhere I go. He knows every step I take.
The scripture says that he knows every breath we take. God is an everpresent God. He is omniresent which means he is everywhere all the time. He is omnipotent. He is the creator of this universe and he controls it all. So often people feel like maybe God doesn’t know where they are. I’m in this big world all by myself, but I’m here to announce today God has you in his sights and he knows exactly what’s going on in your life. I love the story found in John 4.
It’s about the Samaritan woman who came to the well one afternoon and Jesus was there. Now, this story has amazing revelations of all kind. But what I want to look at today, when this woman came to the well, Jesus was there all by himself. So she came to the well at the hottest part of the day. She was by herself. She was actually trying to avoid people. She had quite the reputation.
So it was her time to slide in, get her water from the well, and get out before anybody else could see her. But she encountered Jesus that day. And when she came upon Jesus, he drew near to her. He began to talk to her. He began to ask her questions. Now, Jesus was a Jew and she was a Samaritan. And the two didn’t mix. She was astounded that first of all, this Jewish man would talk to her. So, she began to talk back to him.
She slowly but surely eased a little closer and began to listen to what he said. Jesus was offering her salvation that day. He began to ask her about her life and she answered a few questions and then at that moment he wanted her to know something very important. He wanted her to know that he knew all about her. He began to tell her, “Yes, I know that you have been married five times.
” And he said, “I know that the man you’re with right now, he’s not your husband.” She couldn’t believe it. This man knew everything about her. He was a Jew. He was still talking to her. He was offering her living water. Even though she didn’t quite comprehend what he was saying, she felt the closeness. He was drawing her unto himself. He was saying, “I know all about you and I still love you.
