Today’s Reading: Psalm 139:1-14
Psalm 139:1-2 — O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You discern my thoughts from afar.
God promises never to neglect us. In fact, God is always with us. There is nowhere we can go where God is not there.
David said that he could go the highest heights and the deepest depths, but God was there. He could go as far as he could to the eat or the west, but God was there. God is always there waiting for us. David wrote that even when he tried to hide in a dark place, God had no problem seeing him, because darkness is as bright as day when God is there. God was in David’s dark place too.
From the womb to the tomb, God is present whether we acknowledge Him or not. God is in the homes of atheists, in the temples of Buddhists and Hindus, and in the mosques of Muslims, waiting for them to turn from the darkness of their blindness to the light of His grace and truth.
God knows the heart of every of every man, woman, and child and none of their thoughts are hidden from Him. This knowledge would be dangerous in the hands of a human being, but not in the hands of a loving God. God knows all about us and He wants us to know Him and His love for us.
God is neglecting no one. He is reaching out to everyone. We all need Jesus. We all need deliverance, salvation, and relationship with God. We all need His presence in our lives and to grow in His grace and knowledge. It is we who neglect God and our need for Him.
“O, Jesus! Take us spirit, soul, and body today. We are Yours!”
