Matthew Henry - Psalm 139:17-22


“How precious also are Thy thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with Thee. For they speak against Thee wickedly, and Thine enemies take Thy name in vain. Do I not hate those who hate Thee, O Lord! And do I not loathe those who rise up against Thee? I hate them with the utmost hatred; they have become my enemies.”

“Constant at all times: When I awake, every morning, I am still with Thee, under Thy eye and care, safe and easy under Thy protection. When I awake I am with Thee, in my thoughts; and it would help to keep us in the fear of the Lord all the daylong if, when we awake in the morning, our first thoughts were of Him and we did then set Him before us.”

If you’ve never felt alone in THE battle or afraid this won’t matter much.

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