Psalm 139 – GOD KNOWS

As a church family and as individuals, we need to know how God’s infinite knowledge of us applies to us. Psalm 139 helps us grasp this.

God Knows Who We Are – Psalm 139:1-6

  • God’s knows who I am like no one else does!
  • God knows our inner being, “the real us”, better than any human being.
  • People worship many things, the true God is the only God who only interacts with us in a positive way!

God Knows Where We Are – Psalm 139:7-12

  • 10 – Psalm 32:8

God Knows What and Why We Are – Psalm 139:13-18

  • 13 – Covered means “Woven together”
  • 15 – “skillfully wrought” is “embroidered” in Exodus. (Wiersbe)
  • 17-18 – Shows us how important we are to God.

God Knows How We Should Be – Psalm 139:19-24

  • 19-22 – God wants us to avoid influences that are contrary to his holiness.
  • 19 – MacLaren – “His indignation has no taint of personal feeling but is pure zeal for God’s honor.”
  • 21-22 – Radical yes, but again, God’s honor is at stake. Psalm 101:3
  • 23-24 – Self-examination. First, salvation, and then personal holiness.
