(Psalm 139: 1-10, 23-24
ESV)
Search me O God and Know my
Heart
O Lord, you have searched me
and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying
down
and are acquainted
with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold,
O Lord, you know it
altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and
before,
and lay
your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful
for me;
it is
high; I cannot attain it.
7 Where
shall I go from your Spirit?
Or
where shall I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I
make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and
dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead
me,
and your
right hand shall hold me.
23 Search
me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me
and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way
in me,
and lead
me in the way everlasting!
Our God has all knowledge and power. He is never caught off-guard or with his
resources limited. He knows everything
about us. He literally knows more about
us than we do about ourselves. This week
we can rest in a relationship with this type of God. As we pray for our community, church family,
our nation, and world I urge you to pause in prayer and ask if He would reveal
anything and anyway your life and heart needs to be adjusted to please him?
