God is Bigger than My Problems

Psalm 139:1 ¶ O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

Psalm 139 has been a great comfort to me. God knows me intimately. He knows when I sit down and when I get up. He knows and understands my thoughts. He is with me where I go and when I lay down. He knows where I am going. He even knows the words that I am going to speak. He is behind me and before me and His hand is on me. This knowledge is hard to understand because I am a mere human and He is God.

He is all seeing, all knowing, and everywhere present. He knows my pain. He knows when I fall down and get hurt. He knows when I am distressed. He is there and He is in control. His hand is on me. I take comfort in this knowledge of my God.

Dear Father,
You are bigger than all my problems. I thank You for Who Your are, all seeing, all knowing, all powerful, and everywhere present. Amen.
