You have searched me, Lord, 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, Lord, know it completely.
– Psalm 139:1-4 (NIV)
Today’s commentary
by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible
This scripture is both challenging and liberating. It is challenging in that we don’t like to think that God sees EVERYTHING that we do or think. It is liberating in that God is the most qualified being in the universe to help us deal with the things in our lives that no one else sees or hears. God’s ability to handle the complexities of our soul far outweighs our ability to control our interior life. God knows us yet He still loves us. That is good news.
