God's Thoughts About You: Psalm 139:1-18

This
evening we kick off the first of two Encounter weekends. It’s going to be a
powerful life-changing weekend.

Yesterday
and today the Blogs reversed Scriptures. This is yesterday’s passages.

Psa.
139:0 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

Psa.
139:1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.

Psa.
139:2   You know my sitting down and my
rising up;

         You understand my thought afar off.

Psa.
139:3   You comprehend my path and my
lying down,

         And are acquainted with all my ways.

Psa.
139:4   For there is not a word on my tongue,

         But
behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.

Psa.
139:5   You have hedged me behind and
before,

         And laid Your hand upon me.

Psa.
139:6   Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me;

         It is high, I cannot attain it.

Psa.
139:7   Where can I go from Your Spirit?

         Or where can I flee from Your presence?

Psa.
139:8   If I ascend into heaven, You are there;

         If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

Psa.
139:9   If I take the wings of the morning,

         And
dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

Psa.
139:10          Even there Your hand shall
lead me,

         And Your right hand shall hold me.

Psa.
139:11          If I say, “Surely the
darkness shall fall on me,”

         Even the night shall be light about me;

Psa.
139:12          Indeed, the darkness shall
not hide from You,

         But the night shines as the day;

         The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

Psa.
139:13          For You formed my inward
parts;

         You covered me in my mother’s womb.

Psa.
139:14          I will praise You, for I
am fearfully and wonderfully made;

         Marvelous are Your works,

         And that
my soul knows very well.

Psa.
139:15          My frame was not hidden
from You,

         When I was made in secret,

         And
skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

Psa.
139:16          Your eyes saw my substance,
being yet unformed.

         And in Your book they all were written,

         The days fashioned for me,

         When as yet there were none of them.

Psa.
139:17          How precious also are Your
thoughts to me, O God!

         How great is the sum of them!

Psa.
139:18          If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;

         When I awake, I am still with You.

No matter what we may be going through or how our circumstances
appear, we have a God who deeply loves us and is always mindful of us.
