Reason for Psalm 139


“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance, and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you may not grow weary and lose heart. You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;” Hebrews 12:1-4

The Lord greets and embraces me with His love through those, like you, He has brought into my life. How can I face such love? Where can I go to escape it? Everywhere He surrounds me --no matter how far afield I roam! Instead of running, I find myself giving thanks daily for His generous and loving support and for the precious gift of your friendship and the support you are moved and yielded to offer me because of His love for you!

The Psalm 139 series ends today and perhaps you have learned something special from it and would care to share it in an email (
Darlenerichard@gmail.com) it would be a blessing to share your thoughts too.

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