God Sees Me

Psalm 139:1-6

New King James Version (NKJV)

God’s Perfect Knowledge of Man

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

139 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;

You understand my thought afar off.

3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,

And are acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word on my tongue,

But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

5 You have hedged me behind and before,

And laid Your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;

It is high, I cannot attain it.

Hebrews 4:13

New International Version (NIV)

13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

I was around a little boy this past week who seemed to have no fear of authority, while seeming to think he was the authority, his life was his to control.  I've been around grownups who think the same thing.  A little holy awe and fear of fathers for children and adults for God is a good thing.  That I am never out of God's sight is a terrible wonder, scary but also freeing.  I never have to be my own pitiful god, a captain of sinking soul.  I am watched over, protected, and also held accountable for my actions by a merciful, perfect, and just Father.  He lets me run but He doesn't let me hide.  I am blessed, indeed.
