Psalm 139
O Lord, You have searched me and You know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
You perceive my thoughts from afar, You discern my going out and my lying down;
You are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O Lord.
Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths,
You are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your
hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast.
For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
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, Your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be!
How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake, I am still with You.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
With all the tragedy going on in the world, take a moment and really read these words and know the love God has for you, that He cared about you before you were born.
That He knows all that has happened to you and all that will happen to you.
If you do not know of this love...
Accept Jesus as your Savior,
Believe that Jesus died for YOU on the cross and rose 3 days later
Confess your sins and repent.
