True Security

Psalm 139:1-6 ESV
O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

The Lord knows us - soup to nuts He knows us. So why is this true security? Some may see this as the ultimate fear. But let's face it, the Lord knows us warts and all and still loves us. He still chose to be our ransom to free us for sin. He chooses to dwell in somebody like you or even me (1 Cor 6:19-29).

Who better knows how to equip us for our day to day existence? The Lord knows where we need the most help and He does provide. We may not always see the provision, because what we need the most is obedience and putting down our old nature (Rom 12:1-2).

Verse 5 also shows us the kind of security He provides. He protects us in where we are going, where we have been and where we are now. Yes, He does know your every move, but take comfort that He is there with you.
