4/28/09 Psalm 139:1-12

SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you)
O Lord though has searched me and known me. Though dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; though dost understand from afar. (Psalm 139:1-2 NAS)
OBSERVATION:
The Lord knows us from the depths of our being. We are made and known more than a parent knows a child. The Psalmist also demonstrates how we can not go anywhere without being in the presence of the LOrd.
APPLICATION:
Without being too metaphysical this passage is less about geographical distance and more about mental and spiritual distance from God. I wonder if I spend enough time in silence with the Lord. I know in my heart I can not “escape” the LOrd. So I seek the companionship of others to keep from being silent. I will play my Christian music as I write and study the Word. But rarely do I seek silence…it is just to deafening.
PRAYER
Lord teach me to seek your presence and seek the silence to know it fully. Teach me to accept the full look at myself in silence and know I am never alone.
YES:
I will seek silence with the Lord.
