Did You Know?
Question: I didn’t get chosen for a team until the very last. I said some hurtful things, but no one heard me. God, did you know about this?
Scripture: Psalm 139
vs. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
vs. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.
Devotion: Jesus knew rejection right from the start. He was born in secret, and His parents had to hide Him. As a man, His own people rejected Him and sent Him to die on the cross. Yes, He does understand and hears your angry words. He knows exactly how you feel. Have you ever thought about when someone else goes through the same rejection? Because you understand, maybe you could be an important part in helping them. Prayer: God, I say I want to be more like Jesus, but I don’t often think about the hurt and the suffering He went through. Help me to be strong like Him and think about helping someone else when they are hurting.

About the Book
Where do you look for self-assurance, comfort, and direction? Some seek academic excellence or sports popularity. Others seek release or comfort through drugs, social connections (personal or Internet), or even suicide. Where should you be looking?
Author Martha A. Harper’s Does He Hear? (Life Devotions for Youth from Psalm 139) provides guidance and insight into the creator who hears your cries of concern. The devotions ask personal questions that involve honesty, respect, and obedience. Drawing from the Bible, these devotions respond to questions about difficulties you face every day. They encourage you to reach out to the scripture and trust God. He is the one with the answers and is listening, waiting for you to approach him.
Does He Hear? enlightens you of God’s love, encourages you to see him in your daily life, and challenges you to reach into a deeper personal relationship with him.
“Martha’s heart to encourage youth in their walk with the Lord is evidenced in Does He Hear? I pray God will use this book to bring young people to faith, nurturing those who know him already.”
—Pam Rosner, Home schooled six years, teaching in public school twenty-two years
“The questions are very thought-provoking for youth. The interactive sections continue the focus on the readers, encouraging them to seek God’s direction. As adults, this book reminds us of God’s awesome love for his children.”
—Johnny & Patricia Paxton have nine grandchildren and are members of Glen Baptist Church
