EVERYTHING about you is known by God.  Psalm 139:1-6

• He is omniscient and has searched you completely. (1)
  • He knows every action including your daily itinerary. (2a, 3a)
  • He knows your thoughts before you think them. (2b)
  • He knows your habits and the manner by which you do things. (3b)
  • He knows your words before you have even spoken them. (4)
  • We are under his watchful care before and after each moment of our lives. (5)
• This is beyond our comprehension.

Ultimate power is an all present God who knows all even outside of time.  Psalm 139:7-12

• We cannot hide from him. (7)
  • I could try to travel the galaxy, but I cannot escape his presence. (8a)
  • You can try to dig a hole, but that won’t go deep enough. (8b)
    • “in the depths” Sheol- center of the earth
  • The furthest horizon could not escape your authoritative direction that is secure. (9-10)
    • “hold fast” – stay the course, secure yourself to stay
  • The darkest cave cannot quench the light of God’s eyes. (11-12)
• He is the substance of all that could be considered as a shield from his presence.

The designer/creator is the master technician of the created. Psalm 139:13-16

• God is the source of your design and existence. (13)
  • Made with incredible skill—intentional “fearfully” and with awe of purpose “wonderfully”. (14)
  • Made with more than just the dust of the earth, but spirit. (15)
• The story of my life was already known and written. (16)

Response to his inescapable presence and knowledge. Psalm 139:17-24

1. Admiration and praise to God. Matthew Henry   (17)
2. A holy detestation to sin and those who defy God in outright rebellion. MH (19-22)
3. A holy satisfaction in personal integrity. (23-24)

The invitation to be searched.

My plea in a time such as this…

• Things will not get fixed by fixating on those who don’t give a flip about Jesus.
• Things will only change if the church is fully surrendered and in love with Jesus.
• Surrender and love for Jesus happens when each person bends the knee in humility and asks God to do a deep clean of their soul.
• Then and only then can we with clarity of heart and mind with the motive of love for Jesus effectively discern well, pray well, live well and speak well into a society that needs Jesus.
• Revival is beginning when we have humbled ourselves and pray as the people of God.
• Harvest happens when the people of God as a church on fire become the light of the world and people come to the light of Jesus.

INVITATION TO PRAY… “Search me God…”

2. In Psalm 139:7-12 God’s omnipresence is revealed. What are the mysteries to God’s presence that makes it difficult for you as a human being to understand or explain?
3. In light of Psalm 139:23-24 and 2 Chronicles 7:14, what are the hopeful outcomes from a true personal pursuit of God that petitions him to do a deep work in your soul? How could your personal revival lead to harvest of other souls?
