Thirst for the Wonderful


Such knowledge is too wonderful for me
; it is high; I cannot attain it. (Psalm 139:6)


Psalm 139 tells us some wonderful things about God. Read it and see whether you agree that God's Word says the following:

  • God is working behind us and before us and actually affects our circumstances.
  • He knows our most trivial physical movements.
  • Every word we speak or even think about speaking is known to Him.
  • He knows our priorities, our goals, our habits and our daily activities.
  • God discerns our thoughts even if we are far from Him.
  • He is always present and available no matter whether we are in some lonely place physically, emotionally or spiritually.
  • If only we will reach out to His hand, God’s guidance is always available no matter where we are.
  • Our hidden sin is plain as day to Him.
  • He knows each of our histories and has made definite, detailed plans for each one of us.
  • He plans each person even before they are conceived and He forms each one in the womb according to His own design and purpose.
  • God thinks about me more and knows more about me than I ever will.
  • We should be friends with anyone who is a friend of God’s and an enemy to anyone who hates God. (Who are our friends? Including our computer, TV and books, who do we spend our time with? Who are our examples, mentors and heroes?)
  • We should thirst for God to try us, purify us and lead us into the ways of eternal life. This is thirst for the Wonderful.
