Insights on Psalm 139

Oh my... it's been almost a year since i posted in this blog. I guess I better start writing again.
How are you, my friend? Have you ever felt that the world is crashing down on you? ... That no matter what you do, things never go YOUR way? I've been there a couple of times before and still experience such every now and then. Let me share with you what gets me through it...

My devotion today was on Psalm 139. Again, i am reminded of how awesome God is! He knows us, our "inmost being" which is "literally our kidneys, as the center of a person's emotions and conscience" (quoted from Quest Study Bible). It is amazing that no matter how much we run and rule our life, we will never have a perfect one unless we allow HIM to steer us. It is only by God's grace that we can maneuver through life's difficult course.

Blessings to you, my friend! Cheers!

PSALM 139
1 O LORD, you have searched me 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
4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in - behind and before; you have laid your hand before me.
6 Such is a knowledge too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can i go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If i go up to the heavens you are there; if i make my bed in the depths you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me'"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they will outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, your blood thirsty men!
20 They speak of you with evil intent, your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O 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.
