GOVERNMENT SNOOPING

             The news media has given much coverage lately on the government’s collection through the NSA of the phone call history of all Americans. This has been going on since the 9/11 attack and was authorized as part of our defense against terrorists. We are assured that only call history has been logged, not actual conversations. I recognize this as an illegal invasion of privacy, but it does not bother me, nor would it bother me if they had recorded actual conversations. I have nothing to hide.

            It is amazing to me, however, that with today’s technology that the government can store billions and billions of bits of information in a data base. I cannot even imagine the extent of such a record.

            At times I have wondered how God can keep up with complete knowledge of all things. He knows who has phoned who in this world and the content of their conversation. But I am assured that, if man can invent computers of such capacity, God can certainly do better. How He does it we do not know but we are told He does it. “Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding (knowledge) is infinite.” (Psalm 147:5)

            God not only knows whom we have phoned and what was said, He knows all our thoughts and every action. God knows all about us. He knows our needs and desires before we tell Him.

            God knows and God cares.
