 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.
