Read Psalm
139:1-10
The pagans of the Psalmist David’s day worshiped impersonal
gods, and these pagans believed their gods were even hostile or indifferent to
man. However, David knew he served a deeply personal God who examines our heart
and knows everything about us. The opening verses say, “He searches and knows
me.” We serve an omniscient God who
is all-knowing, limitless in his knowledge. Verse 5 tells us our eternal God goes before us and follows us placing a blessing on us.
We read of our incomprehensible God
in verse 6 who is beyond our understanding. This doesn’t not mean that he is
unknowable, but that he is unable to be fully known. And in verses 7 and 8 we
learn we can never get away from the presence of our omnipresent God. He is near and far, and high and low. Give thanks
for our good creator God who is omniscient,
eternal, incomprehensible, omnipresent, and is always with us wherever we
go.
Psalm 139 is filled with examples
of the attributes of God. Take time today to read the entire chapter and
identify the characteristics of God and then acknowledge his power and presence
in your life.
