Psalm 139
Knowing ourselves can be difficult. Human beings are so complex and layered. Can we every truly understand? Do you feel like you know yourself?
Did you know that you are created in God's image? You, being uniquely you reflects our Creator.
Stand in front of a mirror. Look closely. Smile, all the way to your eyes. Yes, that’s you. Please smile back at that face. Because you are amazing. Maybe you do know that, but you don’t feel it. Or you have forgotten it.
In Psalm 139 King David is in awe. For a reason.
The God who created you, He also knows you. He knows your thoughts. He knows where you go and where you stay. Do not to run from Him, because you cannot. Try to climb into the heavens. Of course, you will find God there. You can descend into the realm of death but also there God is with you.
He’s there in good days and He’s there in the dark days. That’s why this very old poem is so comforting. God is everywhere and you cannot escape his presence. If you are in the light, God is there. If you are in the darkness, God is there. If you are in heaven, God is there. If you are in hell, God is there.
Psalm 139 says it like this:
‘If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!’
Take a selfie. And look. What a miracle you are. God was there at your very beginning. He knew you, even before that moment. Maybe you are born into a loving family. How wonderful for you! What a blessing. Maybe you were not so blessed. You know, that makes no difference. The creator sees you, you are His. Whoever you are; He will be there. Always.
You truly are a miracle
