Read Psalm 139:1-6 and 13-18

Lord, you have examined me and you know me.

²You know everything I do;

from far away you understand all my thoughts.

³You see me, whether I am working or resting;

you know all my actions.

⁴Even before I speak,

you already know what I will say.

⁵You are all round me on every side;

you protect me with your power.

⁶Your knowledge of me is too deep;

it is beyond my understanding.

¹³You created every part of me;

you put me together in my mother’s womb.

¹⁴I praise you because you are to be feared;

all you do is strange and wonderful.

I know it with all my heart.

¹⁵When my bones were being formed,

carefully put together in my mother’s womb,

when I was growing there in secret,

you knew that I was there-

¹⁶you saw me before I was born.

The days allotted to me

had all been recorded in your book,

before any of them ever began.

¹⁷O God, how difficult I find your thoughts;^q

how many of them there are!

¹⁸If I counted them, they would be more than the grains of sand.

When I awake, I am still with you.

Think

This Psalm reminds us just how well God knows us.

Pray

Lord, you know everything about me.  Yet you never leave me.  Thank you for loving me.  Help me to remember and feel that love today.  And to share that love with those I meet along the way.
