I've
quotes Psalm 139 in this blog more than once. I's one of my
favorites, if not my most favorite.
Sometimes,
life gets a little much, or we need some reassurance & reminding
Who's in charge & who's got our backs.
I
offer this psalm this morning as a reminder for us all.
If
it spoke to you, let me know in the comments?
Psalm
139
1 O
LORD, you have examined my heart
and
know everything about me.
2 You
know when I sit down or stand up.
You
know my thoughts even when I'm far away.
3 You
see me when I travel
and
when I rest at home.
You
know everything I do.
4 You
know what I am going to say
even
before I say it, LORD.
5 You
both precede and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such
knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too
great for me to understand!
7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
I
can never get away from your presence!
8 If
I go up to heaven, you are there;
if
I go down to the grave, you are there.
9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
if
I dwell by the farthest oceans,
10 even
there your hand will guide me,
and
your strength will support me.
11 I
could ask the darkness to hide me
and
the light around me to become night—
12 but
even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To
you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness
and light are the same to you.
13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
and
knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 Thank
you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your
workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
15 You
watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
as
I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
16 You
saw me before I was born.
Every
day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every
moment was laid out
before
a single day had passed.
17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They
cannot be numbered!
18 I
can't even count them;
they
outnumber the grains of sand!
And
when I wake up,
you
are still with me!
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test
me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point
out anything in me that offends you,
and
lead me along the path of everlasting life.
