I was listening to the amazing testimony of Darlene Rose (under testimonies). I felt inspired to pull out old memory verse cards and see what I could remember. I’m ashamed to say I’ve forgotten a lot. Never mind, I’ll pick-up where I left off.
The first chapter of scripture I ever memorized was Psalm 139, probably still my favorite passage. Verse 4, Such knowledge is just too much for me to comprehend, what was the writer talking about? What could he not understand? I had to stop and reread it again. I was amazed.
I have not simply meditated on each word in a long time. Pulling out the Amplified Bible I got more details. I made of list of all the intimate ways it said that God knows me. It said I’ve been thoroughly searched out and I’m seen at every waking and sleeping moment. So it’s not Santa Clause after all! I am understood – He gets me. It also said I’ve been sifted and that each word I say is known before I speak it.
My favorite part was that I am beset behind and before and Your hand is laid upon me. I looked it up. Beset completely surrounded or is covered lavishly as with gems or jewels. I am surrounded and lavishly covered by God. I imagine being covered in forgiveness and smothered by His unfailing love. His hand literally on my head as if I’m His treasure. What a beautiful picture; what a wonderful image.
What an attentive Father. Surely I can be still and let Him be God. How wonderful Your love is ever so patient and caring. It’s amazing to think You are interested in me.
