Psalm 139:1-5 - O
LORD, you have searched me and you know me. You
know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying
down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it
completely, O LORD. You
hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
David wrote this wonderful psalm that explains the
omnipresence of God. David knew that God could see into the deepest part of his
heart…and knew everything there was to know about him. He precedes and follows
us everywhere we CHOOSE to go….even when those choices were not the ones God
wanted us to make.
We can never get away from God. He is always near…so we
always have a store of his strength to draw from. God is so close….he hears the slightest
whisper of his name. He stands ready to
help us at any time.
One statement jumped out at my heart from my Life
Application Bible commentary. It said, “God
thinks of us…more than we think of him.” My heart did one of those flip flops
that tells you that you just learned something really important …and I was
immediately convicted because of the meager time I seek him out.
Father...thank you for the reminder that I need to spend
more time with you. Forgive me for ever
thinking that my time with you is enough.
Help me to cling to the words of Paul in 1 Thessalonians 17 and pray
without ceasing…for prayer is the one way to spend time with you. Help me to
find extra times to worship who you are….and not feel I am limited by the three
services I attend in corporate worship. Thank you for loving me more than I could
ever love you…and helping me to strive to love others the same way you love me.
Amen.
