For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. -Psalm 139:13-14 “The clothes make the man.” “If you look good, you feel good.” “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” “We can [...]

Nowhere to Run

Where could I go to escape from you? Where could I get away from your presence? If I went up to heaven, you would be there; if I lay down in the world of the dead, you would be there. If I flew away beyond the east or lived in the farthest place in the [...]

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. –Psalm 139:6 “God works in mysterious ways.” “His thoughts are not our thoughts.” “God’s ways are not our ways.” These oft-quoted (and absolutely Biblical) phrases tend to come to mind during a time of personal struggle or deep tragedy, but just [...]
Held In God’s Hand

“You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.” –Psalm 139:5 I have control issues. A number I don’t recognize called my cell phone twice today. When I called back, it was a jewelry store employee who promptly hung up on me when I asked who from a jewelry store could [...]
Know What I Mean?

“Before a word is on my tongue, You know it completely.” –Psalm 139:4 This will come as no surprise to regular readers of this blog, but if there’s one aspect of my personality that’s likely to get me in trouble, it’s my sarcasm. I love a good wisecrack, and given the chance to be serious or [...]
I’m Quirky… and God Knows It

“You notice everything I do and everywhere I go.” –Psalm 139:3 I’m a private person. I’d venture to say I am more private than most. I think it comes from being an only child. Growing up, I always had my own room, my own stuff and my own time. I’m so private, I won’t even [...]
Can You Read My Mind?
Posted: 23rd August 2009 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: 'God's Love', 'Psalm 139', Psalms, thoughts
“You discern my thoughts from afar.” –Psalm 139:2 This line is both comforting and frightening. It is comforting in the sense that knowing God listens to my thoughts gives me a feeling of connectedness with my Creator. It brings a tremendous amount of solace to know God understands me so well and so deeply as [...]
Every Move I Make

“You know when I sit and when I rise.” –Psalm 139:2 Of course, if one believes in an all-knowing God, one would have to conclude He is aware of all we do. But don’t brush over the power of this verse. Don’t look at it just as Scriptural evidence of God’s omniscience. Look at the [...]
Why Have You Searched Me?
Posted: 20th August 2009 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: 'God's Love', 'Psalm 139', 'you have searched me', Psalms
“Oh Lord, You have searched me— and you know me.” –Psalm 139:1 This is just one sentence and very few words, yet the implications of this one sentence are huge. What this sentence says about God is astounding. This psalm begins by telling us that the nature of our God is not passive. He does [...]
Psalm 139
Posted: 15th August 2009 by Uncle Luther in GeneralTags: 'God's Love', 'King David', 'Psalm 139', love, Psalms
I’m going to take a break from my normal ranting and grumbling. For the next few days I will set aside my usual criticisms and ponderings and reflect on one of the most beautiful word pictures found in the Bible. Not to sound clichéd but the next few blogs are more for me than for [...]
