READ: Psalm 139
CHALLENGE: Be Grateful
A. BE GRATEFUL THAT GOD KNOWS ALL
Vv1-6 – 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.4 Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
1. He knows the When and Where (v2a)
2. He knows Your Thoughts (v2b)
3. He Knows All of Your Ways (v3)
4. He Knows What You will say (v4)
5. He protects You (v5)
B. BE GRATEFUL THAT GOD IS EVERWHERE PRESENT
Vv7-12 – 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 hand will guide me, 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.
1 Kings 8:27 – “But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!
