Psalm 139(1-3) begins with this… “You have looked deep into my heart, LORD, and you know all about me. You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts. You notice everything I do and everywhere I go”
God is here, involved, and directing traffic in every area of our life. It gladdens me that I have a personal relationship with the Artist and Creator of the world, and I pause to say, "Thanks." In my mental imaging, God smiles at the results of a glorious creation.
Have you ever thought of the concept of the immanence of God. It gives me a sense of the closeness, the care, and the protective hand of God in my life. If you read this Psalm again, the writer tries to examine every aspect of his life, and in so doing, realizes God is part of all of it. Before he speaks, God knows what he's going to say (v. 4); God protects him (v. 5); no matter where he goes, he's never out of God's sight (v. 7-12).
It should give us great joy and pleasure to know that God is being part of everything that happens in our life and He is beside us wherever we go.
God is here, right now. Everyplace we are can be a holy place because of God's presence. With this in mind, what of your prayer life? How many of us have the idea that prayer only has to be bended knees and with closed eyes. That's one way to pray. But when I contemplate the Immanent God, I can pray anytime and anywhere.
You are with me, God. WOW, what peace and joy!!!
You have looked deep into my heart, LORD, and you know all about me. – Ps. 139:1
Jesus said "…I will be with you always, even until the end of the world." – Matt. 28:20b
