Ever Present God - Psalm 139 (Daily Devotional)

Hello and welcome again. Have you heard the song ‘ever present God’ by APC music? Now the words of this song are inspired from Psalm chapter 139. That's the inspiration for this song. Have you ever asked this question to yourself or has this thought passed through your mind? Does anyone understand me full, is there anyone who knows me as I am? Is there a purpose to my life, is there meaning to my existence? Or maybe this question, does God really know me, love me and care for me? This Psalm chapter 139 talks about the intimate knowledge that God has about you and me, that God has about us. The first section goes on to say that He knows you. The Psalmist says things like this, he says, ‘you have searched me and know me, you know my sitting down and my rising up, you understand my thoughts and behold there's not a word on my tongue that you know it already.’ So, God knows us intimately, He knows you. Secondly, He is with you; the verses 7 to 12 the psalmist says, ‘Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I go from your presence? If I go to heaven, you are there, if I go to the lower parts of the earth, you are there, at the uttermost parts of the sea, you are there, even there your hand shall lead me.’ So, there's no escaping the presence of God, there's no escaping His grace and He is able to save to the uttermost and He's with you at this moment, right here, right now. The third section talks about how He has formed us. Now this is amazing, the psalmist declares, ‘for you formed my inward parts, you covered me in my mother's womb, and I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are your works and that my soul knows very well.’ So, the Lord knows us intimately, the Lord is the one who knit us together in our mother's womb when we were literally virtually invisible to any human being, the Lord was watching us. It's amazing, isn't it? We didn't know about ourselves, no other human being could see us, but the Lord formed us. And lastly, the psalmist declares, ‘how precious are your thoughts to me, O God!’ How precious! How great is the sum of them! I can't even count them and then he goes on to say, ‘search me Lord, search me and know my heart, try me and know my anxious thoughts.’ So, God knows everything about us, everything about me and as you listen to this song today, just thank the Lord for being this intimate God who is omnipresent, but He is also always present in your life and my life, and He is truly the ever-present God.
