O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know it altogether…
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
Psalm 139:1-4,13-14 (ESVUK)
These verses explore the wonder of knowing and being known. The creator of the cosmos could have been distant and disinterested, but He is not. He could have been interested but cruel, but He is not. What a joy it is to discover the relational heart of God. The more I know Him the more I find myself known by him.
