Psalm 139
-Theme: The
omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient characteristics of God. Our greatest good
is to know God and be known by Him. Repentance.
-Historical Insight: This is a Psalm for the choir director
from the Holy Spirit given to David.
-*Application* This chapter has so many influential and
impactful themes and thoughts for us to meditate on. These are well-known
emphasizes and doctrines of Scripture that David elaborates on for us to understand
our Creator better. The LORD’s foreknowledge, detail, and power is soooo far
beyond us. Yet, He is with us no matter where we go or what we do. There is no
darkness in our God. He is the Illuminator! We, as His creation, are
skillfully, fearfully, and wonderfully made in His image (Psalm 139:13-16,
Genesis 1:27). His thoughts towards us are precious and vast, outnumbering the
sands on the seashore (Psalm 139:17-18). What an incredible thought and comfort
from our Maker. What He does ask from us is to search our restless hearts and
anxious thoughts and, as a result, conform to His ideal (Romans 8:28-30, 1
Peter 5:6-7). This necessarily involves repentance and transformation, which
can only come through the drawing of His Holy Spirit (Romans 12:1-2, 2 Peter
3:9, Titus 3:5).
Verses to Memorize:
