Here Are 5 Lessons from Psalm 139 to Strengthen Your Heart: The journey of each human heart is unique, purposed, and intimately known by the One True God. Life within the love of Christ Jesus, Immanuel (God with us), changes our hearts forever and continually until we arrive home in heaven. Spurgeon’s Treasury of David explains, “since he who sees and hears the abominable deeds and words of the rebellions will surely deal with them according to his justice.” Who God is, allows us to understand who and Whose, we are. “It sings the omniscience and omnipresence of God, inferring from these the overflow of the powers of wickedness,” Charles H.

Knowledge of God directly affects our reactions, especially in times of hardship, injustice, and pain.ĭavid’s heartfelt journey with God, through the good, bad, challenging, and unbelievable, remains alive and relatable throughout Psalm 139.

Knowing God creates gratitude and praise for who He is and what He does for us. Omniscience means that God is all-knowing, His knowledge is not limited. Omnipresence means God is everywhere, simultaneously. Psalm 139 reflects David’s prayerful meditation of God’s omnipresence and omniscience, and the effect those characteristics of God have on the human heart. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Search me, God, and know my heart test me and know my anxious thoughts. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand-when I awake, I am still with you. If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty! They speak of you with evil intent your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you? I have nothing but hatred for them I count them my enemies.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 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. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light will 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.įor you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 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. Your eyes saw my unformed body all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 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. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
