Personal Notes - Psalm 139:1

“O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me. Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost understand my thought from afar. Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down, and art intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all. Thou has t enclosed me behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful to me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it.” 1-6

Every week since 1973, I have read Psalm 139 at least once. That is about 1,820 times if only once a week. And for all that reading, to this day, the Lord continues to “unpack” His amazing message to me from these 417 words in 22 sentences. Starting today, I will share these insights with you and pray if the Lord has also shared insights about these verses with you that you will please email your insights to me, so that others may benefit from His teaching in your life.

“O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me.”

Searched – Why should He even care to search one like me – a speck on this earth? Yet i am made right and made His very daughter – the King’s kid. How He regards me! When you search for something earnestly you search with light to obliterate the shadows, you look under and upon other things. You move things around to see if what you are looking for is behind something else or under something else. And with God, the word used here is Known. That’s past tense…He has always known you.

Stay near God's Word. Take care. Your servant & friend in Christ, Darlene
