O LORD, You have searched me and known {me.}
You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar.
As runners, often we can feel misunderstood. Our desire to run is a mystery to some. Others say that they could never do it because they do not have time. Now we know that they do have time because if we can wake up at 4:00-5:00 am to get in our run, they can too. Some say that we are crazy for getting up early to run, or taking our lunch hour to run, or running in the late evening hours. Family and friends can even try and give you a guilt trip for running. However, your running friends understand you. They understand your mindset. Don’t get me wrong, running should not consume us to the point of forgetting our other priorities. All in all, there is nothing wrong with you taking a daily run.
God understands us all completely. We all have issues in our lives where we feel misunderstood or alone, even when we are surrounded by people. We feel as though no one quite understands our intentions, our emotions, our desires, our dreams, our feelings, our way of doing things, our mindset, or our ideas. However, there is One who understands us better than we understand ourselves. That One is Jesus, God , the Holy Spirit. If you have these feelings of being misunderstood, know that He understands you. If you do not know Him intimately, ask for that intimacy with Him and give Him your feelings of being misunderstood.
