0:00 Yesterday, we spoke about finding refuge and security in God’s presence.0:06 Today, we’re going a step deeper, exploring not just His presence, but His intimate, personal knowledge of you.0:16 Here is Psalm 139.0:17 You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.0:21 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.0:28 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.0:35 Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.0:40 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.0:46 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.0:52 Where can I go from your Spirit?0:54 Where can I flee from your presence?0:58 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.1:06 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.1:19 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.1:36 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.1:42 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.1:52 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.2:03 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.2:13 How precious to me are your thoughts, God!2:17 How vast is the sum of them!2:19 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.2:28 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!2:32 Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!2:35 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.2:41 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?2:49 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.2:55 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.3:01 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.3:08 To be known that completely can feel… intense.3:12 But here's what it means for you today.3:15 It means you can lay down the burden of explaining yourself.3:21 God already knows your heart, your intentions, your unspoken thoughts.3:27 He gets you.3:28 And you are never truly alone.3:31 When the psalmist talks about the far side of the sea, think of the far side of your anxiety, or your loneliness today.3:41 Even there, His hand is on you.3:44 Finally, your identity.3:46 'Fearfully and wonderfully made.' That isn't a compliment; it's a manufacturing spec.3:54 Your value was settled before you took your first breath.3:59 It does not depend on what happens in the next twelve hours.4:04 So walk into this day not as someone being watched, but as someone fully known, and fully held.
