David reflects on the omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence of God in Psalm 139. As he ponders everything God knows – when I sit and rise, what I think and say, when I get up and when I lay down—we are challenged to realize God does the same for us.
How does it make you feel to realize God is powerfully present – all-knowing, seeing you 24-7, hearing every conversation and knowing every thought?
After ruminating on the vastness of God, David concludes:
Such knowledge is too ___________ for me….
Psalm 139:6a
Realizing that God knows all about you, how would you fill in that blank?
Such knowledge is too…humiliating? Embarrassing? Unsettling? Unnerving? Humbling?
David used the word, wonderful:
Such knowledge is too _wonderful__ for me….
Psalm 139:6a
At first glance, that choice might be surprising. But thinking it through leads us to the truth that God stands alone in knowing everything about us. All that junk that we want to forget about. All those poor choices. All that shame. Things that not even our mothers, best friends, or husbands know – God knows it all…AND HE STILL LOVES US!
Now, that my friend, is indeed WONDERFUL!
