“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” (Psalm 139:1-3 ESV).
The psalmist David wrote of his wonder at God’s constant awareness and attention towards him. He considered it wonderful that God would be so attentive to him.
Yet, not everyone wants God to see everywhere they go and know everything they think and do. They desire a secret life hidden from God. This desire began with Adam and Eve after they sinned. For they hid themselves in the garden not wanting God to see their sin. But God called out to them saying, “Where are you?” (Gen. 3:9).
God still calls out to those who are trying to hide from Him today. Are you hiding from God today? Or are you glad for God’s presence and attention?
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank You that You are always with us. No matter the place or the time, we rest in Your constant presence and care. How wonderful You are! We love and adore You and desire even closer fellowship with You that we may know You and be known by You even more fully. In Jesus’ name, amen.
