Very simply, Psalm 139 says it all....

      Today is a beautiful day.  The sun is shining, the skies hold white and fluffy clouds, the temperature is perfect, and a slight breeze is blowing.  I took my dog for a walk and we saw two cranes at the pond, the turtles were sunning themselves on the rocks and the ducks were lazily swimming in the pond.  This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!  I love this phrase from the bible, Psalms I think.  So I go looking and, sure enough, it is Psalms 118: 24.  

      The best part is that I stumbled across Psalm 139!  It basically says that God is always with us.  I think it was written by David (who I think wrote many of the Psalms) and I just was reading about David and Saul this morning.  I noticed that Saul was very depressed about the way his life was going.  After all, God had chosen him to be a king to God's people and everything was falling apart for Saul - all of his own doing because he forgot to obey God and decided to go his own way.  Really, Saul, did you forget that God is always with you and you need only ask for his help?  

      Well, Psalm 139 is reminding us that God is always with us.  It is beautiful and I have included it below.  This really needs no additional commentary.  Just enjoy it and remember it!  Have a blessed day!

 

Psalm 139

¹O Lord, you have searched me and known me.
²You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away.
³You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
⁴Even before a word is on my tongue, O Lord, you know it completely.
⁵You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
⁶Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it.
⁷Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence?
⁸If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
⁹If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
¹⁰even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast.
¹¹If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light around me become night,”
¹²even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you.
¹³For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.
¹⁵My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
¹⁶Your eyes beheld my unformed substance. In your book were written all the days that were formed for me, when none of them as yet existed.
¹⁷How weighty to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
¹⁸I try to count them—they are more than the sand; I come to the end—I am still with you.
