This week, I want to share a brief bit of encouragement from one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, Psalm 139.

It’s easy to get so caught up in all of our day-to-day responsibilities that we get overwhelmed with life. Psalm 139 is my go-to reminder that God is so much greater than I can imagine. He knows me better than I know myself.  Reading this chapter in the Psalms is a great anxiety-reducer!

Beginning in verse 19, David seems to make an abrupt change.  It is a bit uncomfortable that he begins talking about slaying the wicked and hating his enemies.  However, David is not speaking about those he hates, but those who hate God and rebel against God.  God, in His mercy and longsuffering, withholds His wrath. The Apostle Paul was one of those that David would have probably considered an enemy of God, but because God offers mercy, Saul became Paul after becoming a follower of Jesus and did a complete 180 by serving God to the end.

The rest of Psalm 139 reminds us:

1. God is omniscience – He is all-knowing
2. God is omnipresent – He is ever-present
3. That we are intimately known by God
4. We are made with a purpose
5. God is in control
6. We are never alone
7. God will eventually be the ultimate Judge

Friends, regardless of what you are going through or what you have gone through, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.  If you are a follower of Jesus, you know that He left heaven to become one of us. To experience life as we know it…with pain, hurt, challenges, temptations…all of it.  He walked this earth for over 30 years, yet he was without sin.

If you are not following Jesus, know that because He was without sin, he was the only one qualified to become a sacrifice that would cover all our sins.  He died for me, and He died for you.  He loves you!

I hope you will bookmark Psalm 139 and read it often as a reminder of the BIG PICTURE.  You are loved!
