Psalm 139:1-3
1 "You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways."
Reading this scripture leaves me feeling completely exposed, in a good way. He knows me. Not just about me.
Knowing this should lead us to rethink our behaviors, actions, reactions, words and even our thoughts. God knows them all. He sees it all.
Isn't it comforting to know that He has all this knowledge about YOU, and loves you anyway? I laugh at that, because how many humans could know us like that and love us despite ourselves? Not even our spouses or mothers know us as intimately as God knows us. Scary? No, I don't think so. I'm relieved that He accepts me wholly and completely. That He loves me with agape love.
He is familiar with ALL my ways. He is familiar with ALL your ways too. How can having this knowledge reshape your day today?
Psalm 139:22-24
23 "Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting."
