Search Me Lord

Nothing is more basic to life than creation itself. The Bible tells us that God alone has the power to truly create, and the beauty of language in Psalm 139 explains this fully. Some believe the psalmist was writing in part about the creation of Adam.

 

Psalm 139:1–3 says, “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.”

 

The writer marvels at the ways in which God understands each of us intimately, and is present everywhere.

 

Are you aware that God loves you with a supernatural love? He created you to be a singular presence in the world…what we call “unique.” You might feel sometimes that you are worthless, or that no one cares.

 

Not so.

 

The Creator of the Universe, in that vast space, took time to make only one of you. You are precious to Him and you should never forget it, even when things look depressing.

 

God sees you when you sit in that chair and when you get up. He knows what you’re thinking and what’s in your heart.

 

You are on His mind.

 

Let’s pray.

 

Lord, it’s comforting knowing that you are with us in each moment of our day. Help us to live in that moment. Amen.
